What should you buy?

Tell us what you want to run and how you will run it. Every machine in the database is scored on whether your models fit, how fast they go, what it costs to own after tax, and how much electricity it burns — and each result explains its own ranking.

Usage

Generation utilisation: 20%

Fraction of powered hours actually generating tokens. Interactive coding sits near 15–25%; batch work approaches 100%. This drives cost per token more than anything else.

What this is

ModelRigs compares local AI hardware, open-weight models, inference benchmarks, and ownership costs. Every number is identified as measured, aggregated, estimated, or assumed.

What it is not

Not tax advice, not a shop, and not a source of certainty. Where the data is thin we say so rather than filling the gap with confident-looking numbers.
