Simulating 200,000 months: can your home AI rig pay rent at 2026 GPU prices?
LeviTurk · x · 2026-11-02
LeviTurk argues GPUs stopped losing value in 2026, so he asked whether a home AI rig can pay its own rent. He simulated five home AI setups—200,000 possible months each—using Austrian electricity prices, with a Monte Carlo-style model. Result: only one of the five rigs loses money; the others can plausibly cover costs by renting out compute. Details in the linked post.
