Yeah. At 5 tok/second, you're talking about around $195 worth of output tokens per month. There is no way I can run a usable K3 model for $195 a month of capex, opex, or any-kind-of-ex.

Qwen 3.6 is another matter. Paying provider rates for the amount I run locally would put me in the thousands of dollars. So that's very practical to buy a Macbook instead, plus an RTX card, and so on.
