    Expensive as hell! 🤑

    Yegge describes Gas Town as “expensive as hell… you won’t like Gas Town if you ever have to think, even for a moment, about where money comes from.” He’s on his second Claude account to get around Anthropic’s spending limits.

    I can’t find any mention online of the per-account limits, but let’s conservatively assume he’s spending at least $2,000 USD per month, and liberally $5,000.

      At this point, wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy a GPU and burn the electricity yourself? At least you can do a closed water cooling loop and limit the impact to 1-2 KW off the grid. Sure you lose Claude, and that’ll have a huge impact, but I don’t personally know anyone who can afford that much usage just to play around with some LLMs.
