The 80% savings claim for self-hosted LLMs is arithmetically correct on a fully-loaded GPU. Here is what the calculation looks like when you count correctly.

Most LLM-as-a-judge pipelines have a structural problem: self-preference, position ordering, and a verbosity signal that shifts with model updates. Here is what each bias does to your scores — and how to fix it.
