I'm pretty sure a small-to-medium org has plenty of things that could be queued/scheduled to run when there is downtime. It requires some planning and thought though and I don't think most orgs are there yet.
Yeah, but again, why would you? When it comes to open weight models, there's a good amount of competition, so you already get a really good price, without any optimization or anything.
Seriously, you can do years of Deepseek inference for the hardware to run just 1 or 2 requests against a slower, dumbed down model on your own hardware.
It makes no sense to buy hardware right now, when the price is completely disconnected from any material reality. It's much better to use the cloud providers VC funding by using their cheap as F offering. Either AI becomes less useful, or hardware costs come down. Either way, you'll be in a better position in 3 years than you are today.
