alt Hacker NewsWon’t these H100s drop in price in a few years? With the data center build out surely these will become 1/10th the price and you’ll be able to set up a local LLM as good as opus 4.7. Even if the frontier model become more advanced, and memory hungry, you could use the same power usage as your oven to run a current day frontier model as needed? If I could drop $10,000 to have an effectively permanent opus 4.7 subscription today, I would.

opus 4.7 caliber models are trillions of params, and a single instance would likely run on multiple h200s. $100k of hardware. not coming to your laptop anytime soon.

Doubtful. The increase in demand is greatly outpacing supply, and all signs point to a continued acceleration in demand

lol well obviously, but realistically that price point is going to be closer to $100k, with a perpetual $1k a month in power costs.
