Ok, now do memory capacity and bandwidth - the things that actually constraint local LLMs.

Physical reality is not software or math, LLMs can't design "equipment to manufacture autonomously".

Sure, I'm just saying, even for "mundane" computing tasks where the hardware is cheap, if you're optimizing for cost, renting hardware is always the better choice.

"Knowing the codebase" seems like an antithetical philosophy to LLM driven engineering orgs.
