I'm guessing 3 years, what do you think? In other words: many of us will be able to afford a general purpose robot in 3 years to experiment with in the home. Cost roughly $5k? Probably small size, but hopefully still able to do the dishes and operate a vacuum.   submitted by… 13 OpenAI official-blog 14d ago Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT-5.6 Explore lower GPT‑5.6 pricing for Luna and Terra—and how OpenAI’s more efficient models help enterprises deploy AI workflows at scale. 35 Smol AI News news-outlet 15d ago not much happened today **OpenAI** aggressively cut prices for **GPT-5.6 Luna** by 80% and **Terra** by 20%, introducing a faster **Sol Fast** tier with up to 2.5× lower latency at double the price, improving agent workflow costs by roughly 10×.

That’s 15x today’s spot price. 19 r/LocalLLaMA community 16d ago dropped 4k on a spark, am I crazy? Saw that the Asus Ascent 1tb was going for $3,950 from a few sources, couldn't stop thinking about it, finally just went ahead and did it. Am I completely insane? Will I regret this? I can't imagine the price will go down any time soon, so it seems like a good idea and I… 34 r/LocalLLaMA community 16d ago Nvidia is expected to raise GeForce RTX GPU prices again by up to 30%   submitted by   /u/ab2377 [link]   [comments] 21 r/LocalLLaMA community 16d ago I've been tracking RTX 5090 prices across EU stores since March, it's up €1,061 and still climbing Been running a GPU price tracker ( https://www.pricesquirrel.com ) since March, covering 20+ EU stores, recently added RAM, SSDs and CPUs too.

Qwen3.7-flash is on open router. They referred to Qwen3.6-35b-a3b as Qwen3.6 flash so this is likely a small MoE. The prices are substantially cheaper than 3.6 flash with a native 1M context window.   submitted by   /u/fulgencio_batista [link]   [comments] 37 r/LocalLLaMA community 18d ago I want to run Kimi K3 at home, so I’m trying to make 2.8T-scale experimentation cheaper Hey r/LocalLLaMA , I’m a retired engineer with a background in distributed computing, currently running a 1-person startup. Like many people here, I’d love to experiment with 2T+ MoE models locally. The problem is that I don’t have an H100 cluster in my living room. So I’ve been… 12 Smol AI News news-outlet 18d ago not much happened today **Alibaba** launched **Qwen3.8-Max**, a **2.4T-parameter** open-weight model emphasizing autonomous coding, long-horizon execution, and multimodal feedback, with aggressive pricing. Early benchmarks rank it highly on human-preference and vision tasks, showing parity with… 33 r/LocalLLaMA community 18d ago Will prices finally go down? I am seeing more and more videos as posts about how OpenAI is in complete financial ruin, Anthropic isn't much better. Their expenses go with the revenue they make etc etc. Meta made big investments into AI data centers and had no use for then, had to rent them, same thing with… 38 r/LocalLLaMA community 18d ago Do people building local LLM rigs track RTX Ada/workstation card prices, or just consumer cards like the 5090? curious how people here approach buying high-end/workstation cards (RTX 6000 Ada, 5000 Ada, etc) for local LLM work, do you actively watch pricing/timing on these specifically, or is the consumer 5090 usually enough for most builds? also wondering if price alerts/tracking tools… 15 Simon Willison community 18d ago An Inside Look at the Relay Market Powering Token Resellers and Fraud An Inside Look at the Relay Market Powering Token Resellers and Fraud Fascinating investigation by Matt Lenhard into the market that has grown up around reselling LLM tokens at a discount by pooling API keys from various sources. This looks to be mostly a thing in China.… 18 r/LocalLLaMA community 19d ago Any use cases for RTX PRO 4500? At its price point, PRO 4500 doesn’t offer as much raw performance due to its lower power draw at 300W. The 5090 can perform up to 60-70% in short spurts with 600W, but can also be undervolted down to 400W. Are there legitimate reasons other than 24/7 usage and lower power draw… 27 r/LocalLLaMA community 19d ago Is it worth getting 128GB MacBook Pro? Will it ever be comparable to today’s frontier models for coding? I am a long time iOS app developer. In the last year I have been using Cursor+Claude/others to assist with app development.
