which hosted model is actually worth paying for - routecraft - 09-25-2026

Spent some time on this today and wanted to compare notes.

I'm comparing two approaches here: keep it simple on 4090, or squeeze more out of the stack and deal with the complexity.

Interested in tradeoffs more than fan loyalty.

Appreciate the detail. I ended up in about the same place using Ollama. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.

I'd start with the simpler stack.
