I know it uses electricity, but part of the benefit of a local model has to be that you can let it do this while you sleep, and not pay Anthropic for an unknown number of tokens.

yeah i totally understand and I am thoroughly impressed it works. And the electricity cost isn't that bad since it was on a ARM laptop (MacBook M3 Max) and not a beefy workstation with a GPU. I just let the agent do its work while watching the World Cup.
