“As LLMs get larger and larger and larger, the amount of energy they consume also goes in proportion to the size of the LLM that’s being trained… the growth of energy needed every year is about half an order magnitude — that means every year we are [5]x-ing the amount of energy we need to develop the state-of-the-art models for that year.” — 00:21:01
