When request volume is large enough, or when there are hard requirements for data residency, self-hosted GPUs may have advantages in long-term cost and controllability.

UnverifiedThe advantage of self-hosting in terms of data control is deterministic, but it requires bearing the engineering investment of GPU infrastructure costs and model maintenance.78% similarUnverifiedThe barriers to self-built compute include the cost of purchasing high-end GPUs, power and cooling, obtaining and licensing model weights, inference optimization and operations staffing; for ordinary developers, models approaching frontier capabilities still rely heavily on cloud clusters.78% similarUnverifiedThe cost advantage of self-hosting only holds when call volume is large, traffic patterns are stable and predictable, and GPU utilization can be maintained at a high level.77% similarUnverifiedEven if the instruction issue rate increases, GPU performance may be limited by memory bandwidth or cache hit rate, so it is reasonable for the community to question whether the actual gains of unlocking are offset by other bottlenecks.77% similarUnverifiedInference workloads rely mainly on GPUs; tight GPU supply and high cost are publicly acknowledged industry bottlenecks, with large tech companies building their own data centers and small and medium teams relying on cloud services.76% similar
