I'm even surprised people ignorantly talking about advantages of buying very expensive device , run it only sometimes and aiming to beat cloud vendors.

If small model is great it will be hosted with good electricity cost and will be utilized 24/7.

Isn't it 2+2 of economics ?

CPU is a commodity, and we are still buying cpu and ram from vendors for same reason

Put a cost on sending your intellectual property to a saas provider who knows where. Half a problem when it is just your IP, hopefully not the IP of your clients. Maybe if one is building yet another html nobody really cares about.

It's a good thing the market is adjusting to the reality that no one needs to own powerful computers, just terminals into the feed of compute available through the cloud, then! Nothing could possibly go wrong from that!
