When does owning hardware beat the API?

MiniMax M2.7 REAP 172B A10B NVFP4 GB10 needs more memory than any of our consumer hardware presets — running it locally means multi-GPU or workstation territory, so the API price is the honest baseline here.

Local is never $0 — every figure here includes electricity and hardware amortization. Speeds come from published 7-8B Q4 benchmarks (your model, quant, and context will differ); break-even volumes are rounded to 2 significant figures.
