Open tool computes API vs. RunPod self-hosting breakeven across 450+ models, with VRAM sizing
zackku · reddit · 2026-10-22
A developer built ModelAnalysis.si, a free tool that settles the API-vs-self-hosting question: adjust token volume and cache-hit sliders to see when renting RunPod spot GPUs (RTX 4090, L40S, A100) beats per-token API pricing; get VRAM footprints across Q4/FP8/FP16 quantizations with ready-to-run deployment params; and browse live pricing, LMSYS Arena ELO, coding/agentic indices and latency across 500 models with Pareto frontiers to spot pricing anomalies.
