I paid $3,500 for my local AI setup six months ago. Today it costs $1,000 more. But that is only half the story. The models I can run on it today are drastically better, the hardware has appreciated in value, and the reason to go local has shifted from convenience to necessity.

RAM prices surged over 300% in the last year. The US faces a 7-year queue for data center power. Meanwhile, Europe is investing billions in sovereign AI and China is pushing open-weight models that deliver 90% of the performance at a fraction of the cost. OpenAI is currently spending $1.60 for every dollar you give them. The "wait for better hardware" narrative is built on incomplete data.

The RTX 5090 Super was cancelled. The next-gen RTX 6090 will likely not arrive until 2028. If you are waiting, you are paying in time, privacy, and opportunity cost. Join the Discord community for the deep dive discussion, and check the Substack for the full breakdown.
