Grab a 5090 and run Qwen 3.6 35b on it (6 parameter seems to work best for me).

Then buy $10 (or $2, if you're cheap, and they take PayPal) of DeepSeek credits.

Whilst you're at it spring for a Claude subscription too and GPT.

Switch models between Qwen, DeepSeek Flash, DeepSeek Pro, and you can meet 99% of your code generation needs.

Hop over to Opus 4.7 (or 4.8, but I haven't really used it yet) and GPT-5.5 when doing very complex architecture/design or troubleshooting something where DeepSeek Pro is getting stuck.

It is ridiculous how cheap this stuff is now. It's affordable at third world prices.

None of that is cheap.

You started with some random pricing then veered off into impractical hand waving. Far above third world prices...unless you count the USA as third world, I guess.

The extra subscriptions are optional. You can do nearly all of it with just a DeepSeek subscription and switch between Flash and Pro.

If you have the $$, do the extra stuff. People who like to play video games often have a very fancy graphics card that sits idle during their work day.
