The business model should be that with economies of scale they could provide compute much cheaper than average consumer can buy to run locally. So yeah, that means they gotta be able to support these $20/mo plans indefinitely.
If they jack up the prices i can just buy a 128gb ryzen ai machine for the price of $200/mo claude for a year. I supposed there’s some room there --they could charge $50/mo and it still makes sense.
but even at $100/mo i can buy a machine to run it at home do a 24 month payment plan and come out ahead.




I automate plenty with it, no you cant be an idiot about it but i can do what used to take me weeks in hours with it.
