I can churn out 20-100k images/day from Stable Diffusion on budget of $7/day, and I am training my own LoRAs on my own photography. I can run nearly any LLM on a similar budget. Self-hosted AI is here to stay, and once the technology is advanced enough, and the hardware cheap enough, people will very likely prefer their own private AI that they can trust over a big corporate AI that is inevitably going to be built to extract information out of people.
