Green AI: Energy Efficiency & Carbon Reduction

Measure, reduce, and report energy/carbon for training, inference, and edge workloads.

Green AI focuses on metering energy/carbon, optimizing model/layer choices, selecting efficient hardware/placement, and reporting transparently to stakeholders.

Track training, evaluation, and inference separately.

Dashboards: energy, carbon, cost, per-parameter/per-token efficiency.

Auditable logs and sustainability reports.

Mixed precision, gradient checkpointing tuned for HW.

Choose regions with lower carbon intensity; renewable-backed zones.

Autoscaling and right-sizing GPU/CPU; spot/preemptible where safe.

Frequently asked questions

What is the baseline for current models, and how can we identify the top energy consumers?

Baseline current models; identify top energy consumers.

How do I apply optimizations such as quantization or distillation to reduce energy consumption?

Apply optimizations (quantization/distillation, placement, scheduling).

Can I set Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for energy and carbon usage per job, and how can these be enforced?

Set SLOs for energy/carbon per job; enforce via CI checks.

How do I publish a sustainability report that accurately reflects improvements and any offsets used?

Publish sustainability report with improvements and offsets (if any).
