Vibe code that app and business. It’s a great idea like a kind of SETI@Home for business but I’m not sure the compute and latency will really be good enough unless you’re talking about a business with literally thousands of machines sitting half idle and always on, or always mostly on. i imagine it would take maybe 50-100 MacBook Pros running such a service to get to Claude level performance for one or two people.

Is there some mock input one could calculate to actually verify that? That many modern Mac Pros is no small potatoes when it comes to compute power. Someone must have a pre made formula anyone can use to do closer estimates?

		Really not sure, the numbers aren’t too hard to run. GPUs in particular are really not doing very much most of the time. But spinning them up does max out the machine and make it hot and increase the power consumption quite a lot so it would be obvious the machine is getting stressed out all the time compared to its quiet idle background which is where it’s at for most browsing and basic stuff.
