I was loading $5 at a time into API consoles.

Anthropic. OpenAI. Google. Every experiment started with the same calculation: "Is this idea worth $15 in tokens to find out it doesn't work?"

That mental tax killed more projects than any technical limitation.

So I built a PC that runs AI models 24/7 for the cost of electricity.

What's stopping you from running models locally?

I Was Spending $5 at a Time on AI APIs. Then I Did the Math on Local Hardware.
