What you'll learn

When smaller is better

DeepSeek v3 and R1 just released, and the race is on for model optimization. How much energy these techniques can save?

The rebound effect

When high performance and low cost model are released, everyone wants to use them. With unintended consequences.

Making the right choice

The trend of LLM reasoning models is having an impact on energy usage during inference. How much and why should we care?

Why this topic matters

DeepSeek R1 launched. The stock market of some tech companies took a beating: bigger is not always better. For a short moment, those who worry about the impact of AI on the climate crisis could take a victory lap: finally some true energy efficient models available to all! Then came the realization that with the Jevons paradox, all bets are back on the table. LLM optimization is not the end game.
