Power Efficiency in AI

Getting the most useful computation, such as tokens, out of each watt of energy.

Definition

Power efficiency in AI is about getting the most useful work — for example, tokens generated — out of each watt of energy consumed. It spans chip design, model optimization, serving strategy, and data-center practices, and it matters for both the cost and the environmental impact of training and running models.
