A combination of shorter queries and using more specific models and could cut AI energy consumption by up to 90 percent without sacrificing performance, said UNESCO in a report published to mark the AI for Good global summit in Geneva.
With ChatGPT receiving around a billion requests per day that amounts to 310 GWh annually, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of three million people in Ethiopia, for example,
“The exponential growth in computational power needed to run these models is placing increasing strain on global energy systems, water resources, and critical minerals, raising concerns about environmental sustainability, equitable access, and competition over limited resources,“ the UNESCO report warned.
Many AI models like ChatGPT are general-purpose models designed to respond on a wide variety of topics, meaning that it must sift through an immense volume of information to formulate and evaluate responses.
So did cutting the cutting prompts from 300 to 150 words.
For example, Google sells Gemma, Microsoft has Phi-3, and OpenAI has GPT-4o mini. French AI companies have done likewise, for instance, Mistral AI has introduced its model Ministral. – AFP
