At this point, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a GPU and burn the electricity yourself? At least you can do a closed water cooling loop and limit the impact to 1-2 KW off the grid. Sure you lose Claude, and that'll have a huge impact, but I don't personally know anyone who can afford that much usage just to play around with some LLMs.
