Electricity cost seems to be about $30/month for a 32B model on a GPU. It's probably better on Apple hardware. https://github.com/QuantiusBenignus/Zshelf/discussions/2 Not accounting for hardware, of course :) | ||

My Mac Studio uses about 60–80 watts whenever I’m running a model (as measured by the system metrics), so it’s less than 2 kWh/day at full blast. Electricity is like 0.125 €/kWh, so that 24-hour period would be <0.25 €. Not accounting hardware in my costs, since I didn’t buy my hardware for running models. Running models is just something it can do in addition to what I got it for. | ||

The price, processed tokens, and output can be anything, it just depends on what GPU it is. Nvidia GPUs are much more efficient than Apple hardware for inference(and training). | ||
