building with AI

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

Someone shared an amazing website the other day, was a calendar, to do list and maybe notes/email all in one. the header had little emojis in the text for each section and the ui was a clickable to do list and dragable calendar. Please help me find it !

@AI__Alex Hahaha on a public post ;) just trying to see what happens and make sure everyone has a chance … I worry it’s going to get ugly :(

Monday 8am AEDT. Let’s see what happens this week to Australian DGX Sparks….

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@AI__Alex How many you got haha

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@0xSero Wow so on two sparks this can run and control browsers?? I just ordered two sparks…..

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@AI__Alex Hahahahha enough for you lol

Aussies looking at DGX Spark pricing and stock I made a tracker. Going to be interesting to see what happens this week. https://t.co/c38xsUSgGE

"It just doesn’t math."

I keep seeing this take. But why run AI on your own hardware?

Because for many of us, the cloud just doesn’t math either. Personally, I replaced all my Claude + Codex usage with DeepSeek-v4-Flash running locally on two DGX Sparks.

For reference: $8,000 spent on the Claude Sonnet API would currently buy you roughly 800 million output tokens — about 5 months of continuous generation at 60 tokens/sec.

The "It just doesn't math" claim: "For $8000 + electricity you could get over 4 years of Claude Max $200/mo sub plans, which would give you more Sonnet usage than your local setup."

Who says Claude Max stays at $200/mo? They’re literally losing money on every sub right now — this price won’t last. They also nerf the limits constantly, & you’re STILL rate-limited even on the top tier.

I know you can’t run actual Sonnet locally. That’s not the point.

The point is: for my workflows, the local models I can run are good enough to fully replace it. A lot of people (including me) simply prefer not to send work through certain cloud providers, whether for privacy, trust, or other reasons.

So the real question is: if the hardware can replace what you’re already paying for in API costs, is $8k justifiable? For me, it absolutely is.

Plus… you actually own it.

You don’t like owning things?

@1337hero Connect to the API and get Claude to distill them

@sudoingX Opus 5.5 quality on 2 x DGX sparks would be my dream

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@JamesMcPherson I think people forget this is targeted at businesses. Unfortunately I think they will sell well

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@MiaAI_lab Love all the AI news and tips on X but there is a lot of negativity

@rickmanelius Seems like 2x is the sweet spot atm

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

DGX Spark Australia prices are going to go up. Computer Alliance sold 7/10 in the last 24 hours and just upped their price.

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@kushmergedeck Opus 5.5 and firecrawl :)

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@acadictive Super excited signed up

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

Scary times. I don’t see it going anywhere but up. In Australia they are starting to sell out. Yesterday Computer Alliance had ten in stock, this morning they have 3….

[Mia @MiaAI_lab]

This aged well.

You could’ve bought a DGX Spark for $3500-4000, and Codex's $200 plan was actually pretty generous.

3 month later we have a 64 GB DGX Spark retailing for $4950, the 128 GB retailing for $6950, and a new $500 Codex plan.

How will it look like in 1 year from now?

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@Al073104847030 @cybersec @MiaAI_lab Nice just ordered two from Computer Alliance. Called yesterday they said they had ten. Ten were showing on their eBay listing but today it’s down to 5. I think they all sold out by the end of the week. Wild times

[Kyle Behrend @KyleBehrend]

@Al073104847030 @cybersec @MiaAI_lab I’m in Aus about to buy some where did you purchase from?
