JEFF GEERLING RAN DEEPSEEK 671B AT HOME AND THE SETUP KILLS A $400/MONTH OPENAI AND CLAUDE CODE STACK FOR $9 A MONTH
jeff geerling is an independent homelab developer who runs his entire AI workload from a server in his basement
he wired a 192 core ampere one server to an AMD W7700 GPU and pointed ollama at deepseek 671B, 400 watts at the wall, 50 tokens per second
a heavy developer pays $400 a month across claude code max and chatgpt pro, jeff's setup runs the same workloads locally for $9 a month in electricity
every benchmark, every power draw number and every config file is on his blog for free, the math is public, the build is reproducible, the cost is real
the week he posted the rack nvidia lost $500 billion in market cap, the moat openai sold for $200 a month was always one local box away from being gone
