Eight NVIDIA DGX Sparks on a table.
Each one is ~$7k of Grace Blackwell AI supercomputer.
This stack is $55,000+ of private local AI sitting there like it’s a gaming PC.1TB pooled memory. Frontier models. No cloud.
How rich do you have to be to casually flex an eight-node AI cluster in the living room? @NVIDIAAI

Big news for Ohio shooters! On Oct 9, ATF announced it will no longer enforce certain federal registration and approval requirements for suppressors. The $200 tax stamp is already gone.
Important: Ohio law has not changed. Suppressors are still classified as dangerous ordnance here, so the NFA registration process remains the compliant path for now. Form 4473 is still required, and we’ll continue handling the paperwork needed for Ohio customers.
Suppressors are available at Range 42 / Workman Firearms. We’re watching Ohio Senate Bill 214 closely and will update you as soon as state law changes.
Your safety and compliance are our priority. Questions? Stop in or give us a call.

OpenAI: “Models are more efficient, so you’ll get more done.”
Also OpenAI: same $200, half the usage. Want the old allowance back? That’s $500 for 25% more.
They didn’t pass the savings on. They reset the rate card.
8 in 10 Americans want voter ID.
8 in 10 want a ban on Congress trading stocks.
8 in 10 want AI slowed or stopped.
One of those might get a watered-down bill.
The other two will get a press conference.
Congress polls the public, then polls itself.
Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on one DGX Spark: ~30 tok/s.
GPT-6.1 Sol in my Hermes harness: 21 tok/s.
Come on, OpenAI.
Is this how you make the subscription feel like it lasts longer? Just run the model slower.
lol
If you cut serving cost in half, why cut the $200 plan in half too?
Don’t pocket the whole efficiency gain. Share it.
Keep my $200. Give me 25% more usage. You keep 25% of the compute savings. Win-win.
Or leave my usage unchanged and take the full 50%. That’s at least honest.
Halving the plan and launching a $500 tier is not passing savings through. It’s converting a cost cut into a price hike for the people already paying you $200.
Am I missing something, or is that the deal?
Love paying $200/month for ChatGPT Pro so I can get a big launch announcement for Dots, click it, and read "not available in your region." Congrats on the feature I can't use. Wild idea: announce it when paying customers can actually touch it — or at least warn me it's coming instead of teasing me with it.
OpenAI Dev Day energy:
“Great news! Models now cost half as much.”
Also OpenAI:
“We’re cutting your Pro usage in half. New $500 plan available though.”
If the model is 2x cheaper, shouldn’t my $200 sub now give me 2x the work?
Math is hard when the slide says “do more with your subscription.”
I don't think all the resets are going to help you with this one Open AI.
Hi,
Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.
Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.
(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.
I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.
Codexingly,
Tibo
After using GLM 5.3 flash and Deepseek v4.1 flash why do i feel like I'm waiting forever for the other frontier models?
Exactly. Closed source AI is the problem.
They’re claiming AI is dangerous because an OpenAI model attacked Hugging Face.
But when Hugging Face tried to investigate what was happening using frontier models, they flat out refused.
So they fell back to a self-hosted GLM-5.2, which actually got the job done and helped them investigate the attack.
And somehow the takeaway is still that open-weight/local models are the dangerous ones.
The frontier models refused, the local model actually helped.
But yeah, local AI is the problem.
Makes sense.
