Local LLM FAQ: will the gear pay off? No. Does Nvidia make money? Yes
A tongue-in-cheek FAQ for people running models at home.
@yuracafe_ posted a Monday FAQ about running local LLMs. Why? Fun. Will the gear pay off? No. Does it make money? Nvidia makes money. Isn't ChatGPT or Claude enough? Yes. Isn't the cloud faster and cheaper? Yes. The post drew about 3,100 likes.
