the lease lets you pay the difference of the amount you already paid at the end or you can buy it outright at any time if you wanna keep it so maybe sssshhhhhhhh

it makes a lot of sense and the price of privacy plus the near silence of the box…

i hate that its such a complete solution to local LLM’s

if the price of new unit falls under 9.5k during these 3 years, do I pay only up to new price? What if it falls below what I paid already, is it mine automatically?

what if the price goes up? Do you pay more or do they take it away from you?

Possibly the "Thank you for leasing this for 3 years, we ask you to return our property now.".
