A finance industry user posted on Reddit looking for local AI setups that rival Codex/ChatGPT while cutting costs. He notes his company's devops manager says any spend is justified by a "guaranteed 10x return," but he expects AI spending to collapse within 6-12 months as companies fail to justify the bills. He asks whether the future is local-first compute with cloud for live answers.
