ML agents that run locally: MLExpert and EpochGo on Ollama, zero API costs

MLExpert raises the bar to 35B and a 72.7% medal rate; EpochGo runs three AutoML agents on 16 GB at zero API cost: what works today, the math and the limits.

Costs: local vs API, done with real numbers

How much does local really cost compared to a cloud API? Verified per-token prices, GPU amortization, electricity and the break-even point, calculated with real numbers.

What a token costs: five routes, the math, and the break-even point

Frontier API, subscription, inference providers, rented GPU or your own hardware: five routes to tokens, with real monthly costs, the electricity bill, and the calculated break-even point.
