GPT-4 or 3.5 can not be self hosted.

Some LLMs are open source such as [Falcon](https://huggingface.co/blog/falcon) or various LLaMA based models (which come with licensing questions) can be self hosted but to date they all underperform GPT 4 or even 3.5

Your back of the napkin calculation there is wildly off, if you are going to be self hosting an LLM you probably want an A100 or H100, maybe a few of them … try googling for prices…
