I’ve run an LLM on my desktop GPU and gotten decent results, albeit not nearly as good as what ChatGPT will get you.
Probably used less than 0.1Wh per response.
Is this for inferencing only? Do you include training?
Training is a one time thing. Tge more it get use, the less energy per query it will take
Good point. But considering the frequent retraining, the environmental impacts can only be spread on a finite number of queries.
