I save cloud costs by hosting local AI

I’ve been working on Vanta, a scalable AI hardware solution powered by 2–8 NVIDIA RTX 4090s, delivering up to 1.32 petaflops FP32 in a compact form factor.<p>It’s built for startups, developers and researchers to prototype, fine-tune and run models up to 70B parameters locally. So you can own your computer instead of renting.<p>- A 2-GPU setup costs $9k and breaks even in 9 months vs. cloud rental at $0.69&#x2F;hr (ex: RunPod).<p>- The 8-GPU at $40k saves $12k in year one compared to $48k in cloud costs.<p>This can handle different AI framework: TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX, CUDA-optimized libraries, VLLM, SGLANG, llama.cpp...<p>I can get it built in a day and shipped out quick. Let me know what you think!
