Compare hosting configurations
Compare two exact setups, including different configurations of the same model. Hardware fit, measured speed and costs are separate decisions.
Add your cost assumptions (optional)
Use hours for the same scenario period. Cloud billing includes idle time; active hours alone do not set the bill. Local electricity uses whole-system attributable power, powered hours and your tariff. Missing inputs remain unknown.
Measured speed needs the same pinned workload protocol, tokenizer, context, batching and cache state.
