After my experiments of the last few weeks, I have cancelled my Claude subscription and now run my coding assistants completely locally.

The cost went from 200$ per month to...10 Euro per month (and hardware that will be offset against those savings within about a year).

I'd also argue that my local carbon foot print is significantly lower than some random Anthropic data center.

Home Assistant dashboard tracking a local AI inference server. The server status shows Active at 383.5W power draw with 1.06 kWh used today and 2.65 hours of active inference. The cost section shows a rate of 6.28 ct/h, with 23.4 ct spent today and 27.15 ct this month — powered by Austrian spot-priced electricity at 7.3 ct/kWh. History charts show power draw spiking between 60-400W during coding sessions, fluctuating energy prices throughout the day, and the corresponding cost rate. The grid is running at 131 gCO2/kWh with only 13% fossil fuel. Office temperature holds steady at 21.2°C.
