I recently read that asking a single question in Chat GPT uses energy/electricity equal to powering a lightbulb for something like 20 minutes. How does Chat GPT work and is it an energy drain?
In: Technology
“ChatGPT consumes over half a million kilowatts of electricity each day, an amount staggering enough to service about two hundred million requests. ChatGPT’s daily power usage is nearly equal to 180,000 U.S. households, each using about twenty-nine kilowatts.”
One of main concerns around ChatGPT and similar LLM models becoming ubiquitous is that there is not enough electricity in the world to run those massive GPU farms.
