Even with deepseek v4 flash I burned though $5 in credits in a day just playing around with Hermes, and qwen 3.6 35B is significantly more expensive.

I can run qwen 3.6 35B on my gaming PC at around 50 tok/s and other than power cost of a tiny bit extra per month, it's hardware I already owned from years ago.

I'm not really sure why qwen 3.6 35B is so expensive on openrouter, it seems abnormally high for what hardware it takes to run it.
