$0.286/kWh is a ridiculous amount of money to pay for power. That's more than double the regional residental average here!

If I ever found myself in this situation I would much rather just rent cards from hotasile and run open models instead of giving OAI money and playing reset bingo



I removed the extra links to sources for the electricity prices, but that's the average cost in EU, where I live.

Indeed, EPEX spot prices are between €0.30 and €0.39 today including taxes where I live. I've seen them go up to €1.10 during peak demand.


it is not the marginal price for household users, but the (average electricity bill : subscription + consumption) / (average consumption), so it will be higher than the additional kwh consumed.


Maybe, but only it's marginally off.

This is what I pay extra per kWh,in Netherlands: € 0,25162 ($0.291), excluding the connection costs.


Ridiculous? Wow. I'm paying ~$0.4/kWh in western Europe...


Paying around ~$0.25-0.3 per kWh here in South Africa. But you can also put up a lot of solar panels and lower that effectively.


Wow. Those are about EV quick charge prices here in .fi. Average residential is maybe 0.06 €/kWh (plus transfer and subscription).

The current spot price in northern Europe is 0.025€/kWh, yesterday it was 0.007€/kWh :D


We're privileged in North America to have cheap power.


Also, note that the Luna was run and costs were calculated through OpenRouter, via API. With a ChatGPT subscription it's likely even cheaper.

Also, Qwen 3.7 27B is actually Terra level.


Can be easily the price you will pay across Australia, depending on the time of day.
