Currents: AI & Energy Insights - May 2025
Great insights!
I don't know if you saw Sam Altman commenting on the energy and water use of OpenAI models directly in his blog post:

TLDR 0.34 watt-hours electricity / query + 0.000085 gallons of water (1/15 of a teaspoon)
Thanks, Henrik!
It's a good start, but I would love to see the breakdown by model, how much more is reasoning consuming, image generation, Sora, Deep Research etc.
Only then we can start making some conscious "sustainable" decisions on what models to use in our day to day
Great insights as usual! Very cool solution for schools https://www.ento.ai/product/ento-control?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email.
