Most of the self-hosting advice you'll find was written against 2024 assumptions. API pricing is expensive and linear, hardware is fixed and amortizes, so past some volume you break even. Buy the GPU, stop paying rent. Two things broke that this year, and they moved in opposite directions. Inference got cheaper OpenAI cut GPT-5.6 pricing twice over the summer, dropping Luna by 80% and Terra by 20…

But a fundamental question remained: Does the AI actually use this internal sense of confidence to decide whether to answer a question or simply say, “I don’t know”? 3. The Proof: To prove this wasn’t just a coincidence, researchers directly […]
