The real use case: drop Claude Max ($100/mo), keep Pro ($20/mo), offload
bulk codebase work to local. Local handles the 80% (reading 10K-line
projects, routine fixes, boilerplate) with no rate limits. Pro handles
the hard 20% where Opus quality matters. GPU pays for itself in 13 months,
saves $1,596 over 3 years vs Max.
Also adds: NVLink speed reality check, image gen capabilities (SDXL/Flux
included at no extra cost), hardware longevity estimate (3-5 years),
and updated cost comparison tables.
