Sunk Cost tool calculates when local LLM hardware beats per-token renting
A developer built a calculator that estimates how long a local LLM setup takes to pay for itself compared with paying per token for a hosted model. Users input their machine, model, and daily token usage, and the tool returns a break-even timeframe. It targets the common advice that buying a Mac to run models locally is automatically cheaper.
