DeepSeek costs OpenCode Go user $1.14/day; dual DGX breaks even in 24 years

dax from OpenCode reports that the average OpenCode Go user spent just $1.14 per day on DeepSeek Flash v4 last week, while a dual DGX setup to run the same workload costs $10,000 upfront. At that rate, it would take 24 years to break even, or 2.4 years if usage were 10x higher. The post highlights that while running models locally has its perks, cost isn't one of them.

There are a lot of reasons to want to run models locally, cost is probably not one of them.
