512GB will be available from October, and I guess that the price will be around 15-17k.
Let's see how much it will cost to run a proper openweight model at home:
DeepSeek V4 Pro: 2 Macs, $32–34k
Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3: 4 Macs, $64–69k
At 100 output tokens/sec, 24/7, compared with OpenRouter prices today, the hardware payback would be:
Kimi K3: 16–18 months
DeepSeek V4 Pro: 36–39 months
GLM-5.3: 56–60 months
K3 makes sense for a privacy first fully local setup.
Your analysis is inclonclusive, you are not considering high-optimized inference engine, SSD-streaming approach and other optimization
