Capex never ends either if it's hardware. Also you need opex to run it

400k on a DGX node starts seeming like a great deal when your employees each start using a few hundred dollars worth of Claude tokens every month. That one node can handle a lot of users depending on the model used.

It's an expense once every maybe 5 or 6 years in reality and you don't need to hire new people, you just give your existing sysadmins some extra work. They'll complain, but they'll still do it.

Of course the sensible alternative is to use a decent model off openrouter for peanuts but then you're sending all your sensitive business secrets to China which is even worse than sharing them with a US AI company. And people WILL be sharing secrets lol
