Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
Before you spend thousands on a local inference rig, it tells you in years, not vibes, whether it beats paying for an API.
Sunk Cost is a free calculator for anyone weighing a machine for local AI models against paying OpenAI or Anthropic per token. You enter the hardware, the model and your daily token use; it estimates speed from memory bandwidth, adds electricity, and returns a break-even date, plus a ranked list of best buys at each capability level. No cookies or IP logging. Hacker News commenters pushed back on some throughput defaults and wanted more GPU options, and many found payback periods sobering.
