The problem here is always the cost-benefit. For $200/mo, you're receiving subsidized best of breed access. There's no model competing for that price anywhere. If a 27B param model is what you choose, show me your hardware! I would love to be wrong...

But for how long? The subsidized phase is probably short, and then what? I run Qwen 3.5 27 Dense om my old AMD RX7900XTX at about 45 t/s and barely use my Claude Code subscription anymore.
