Gemma 27B with Ollama
$0.00 known/moknown subtotal $0.00–$0.00
Known subtotal; required parts remain unresolved.
Required parts: incomplete
Compatibility: no blocking rule
One-time: $0.00
Put two working build sheets side by side. Change the usage assumption to compare the complete monthly cost, then inspect the parts and operating tradeoffs behind the difference.
Saved builds load only from opaque share IDs included in this link. They are never listed or added to public discovery.
The known monthly subtotals are $0.00 and $0.00, but at least one build has unresolved required parts. No lower-cost conclusion is available at this usage level.
Add only upfront costs you actually expect to pay. Blank means no additional cost; catalog one-time costs are already included.
No break-even claim: Both builds need a complete required-parts path before a break-even point can be calculated.

Excludes electricity, taxes, resale value, hardware lifetime, and utilization unless those costs are reflected in the values you enter or in the catalog estimate.
2 parts are the same; 2 parts differ. Exact catalog selections link to their plan details; an absent price is never treated as free.
Evidence check: 8 dated Catalog identities (2 aging, 6 stale). Specifications: 0 exact selections carry reviewed key Variant facts; 0 have no observed specification facts. Price: 0 linked selections have current reviewed evidence; 0 have stale or disputed evidence; 0 have no observed estimator price. Availability: 0 linked selections have a reviewed point-in-time observation; 0 have no observation. Snapshots do not claim uptime.

| Privacy | Model work stays on the selected local machine unless another service is added. | The model runs on a rented machine you configure; provider infrastructure still handles the workload. |
| Availability | The machine must stay awake and connected when the build needs to run. | Availability follows the rented GPU and any interruptibility or capacity limits. |
| Setup | You maintain the local runner, model files, and hardware fit. | You maintain the model server, storage, and GPU runtime. |
| Maintenance | You handle runner and model updates, storage capacity, restarts, and upkeep of the selected machine. | You handle model and runtime updates, storage capacity, instance sizing, and restarts; the host maintains the underlying infrastructure. |
