alt Hacker NewsClaude Code is $100+ or else be constantly throttled. My usage on GHCP was gonna be $300+ a month.
I paid $1350 and threw an R9700 in an existing machine. That's a 4 month pay off or so.
Plus, I can feed it sensitive data all day and not be worried where it's going.
An R9700 has 32 GB RAM. Is your comparison against a similar size model? Or shouldn't you be comparing it against the cost of a hosted model matching the one you’re using locally?
