I did the math of running LLMs locally in India, specifically my city of Pune. The problem is energy costs! Pune has notoriously high energy costs. Combined with cooling infra I’d require, it’s effectively cheaper for me to subscribe to one of the $20 plans. Am I offloading my environmental impact elsewhere? Yes! And am I continually using LLMs for my work? No! So this revelation completely changes my preferences for my Mac upgrade.
