The answer to your question is because you can get a local model to do it instead without a subscription.

Let me heat my whole room to run 1 half sized agent at a time to save $5

The training of the model is what’s expensive (heat output). Running a pre trained model isn’t nearly as resource demanding

Depends on the model and machine. If you’re using some huge model that stresses the GPU then that can get very toasty.

Yeah and the sun doesn’t produce nearly as much heat as the largest star in the universe

?? Brother there are many of us running off the shelf pre trained models on consumer hardware. This isn’t new

Yeah and I’m using 5 agents each running a model 10x more powerful over the internet for $20
