I mean, this is cool and all, but 2 DGX Sparks is like $10k, right? That's a huge upfront cost to run DS4 Flash 0731 which is definitely not comparable to higher-end Claude models. It's extra egregious when you consider how much it'd cost to run DS4 Flash 0731 via an API (how long would it take to run up a $10k bill doing what you're doing?).

>and from someone that has been using Claude for a long time, I can definitely say I don't need it anymore. Not for the stuff I'm doing.

I'm curious what this implies. It suggests that you were using Claude prior to this setup, so it doesn't seem like you were limited by security or local features? I can understand that someone not wanting to send their data to Anthropic (etc.) might be willing to pay for this kind of setup to accomplish that, but what was your motivation for doing this?

If it matters, if I had enough money that I could blow $10k on 2 DGX Sparks without it being a significant cost I probably would for the hell of it, so I'm not digging on you if this is ultimately what this comes down to. But, as an investment, this doesn't seem like a very good deal.
