My comparison of its reasoning efforts[0] seems to show that it only really supports 3 modes: none, low, xhigh.
Low and medium are basically the same.
Also, the electricity it costs to run on a 3090 is not negligible, so that it's cheaper to use Luna high via API than Qwen 3.8 27b locally, hardware costs excluding.
$0.286/kWh is a ridiculous amount of money to pay for power. That's more than double the regional residental average here!
If I ever found myself in this situation I would much rather just rent cards from hotasile and run open models instead of giving OAI money and playing reset bingo
it is not the marginal price for household users, but the (average electricity bill : subscription + consumption) / (average consumption), so it will be higher than the additional kwh consumed.
Btw, unrelated, but this is the kind of Vibe Coded AI slop design I see a lot these days. Every single thing on this page has a different color, formatting, and it's just painful to look at.
How about a complete rewrite that is not vibe coded? I'm only half serious. You're likely to use an LLM to help develop it, but don't let it take you for a ride. LLM's really struggle with data dense and robust designs.
Have a look at https://diskprices.com/ - this is great UX because it's extremely functional, yet it has nearly no design to speak of. On a scale of data dense designs, this one would be on the extreme side, so I guess if you ask the LLM to meet you somewhere in the middle.
I do try to guide it, I don't think strictly telling LLMs what to do works best. I like letting the LLM do what it thinks it's best (supposedly it is a lot smarter than me), and then guide it in the directions I think it should go and fix the flaws I notice.
I checked out that link on mobile, but it's unfortunately unusable. I will check it out later on desktop, thank you.
