How can I measure the environmental impact of the AI I use?
AI that runs on hardware you control can be metered, with a power meter or a tool such as CodeCarbon. AI you buy as a service (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, API calls to a provider) can only be estimated, from tokens or messages, an energy factor for the model size and the grid where it runs.
For that second case I maintain an open dataset, SAEF (CC BY 4.0), with estimated carbon and water factors per model class for 210 countries and 143 AWS, Azure and Google Cloud regions.
- Dataset https://huggingface.co/datasets/GuillermoLlopis/ai-inference-emission-factors
- `pip install saef` (LiteLLM and LangChain integrations)
- Full answer with a 250-seat Copilot example https://somaai.earth/ai-footprint/answers/how-to-measure-environmental-impact-of-ai-you-use
All figures are estimates, not measurements. Feedback on the model classes is welcome. reacted to oravianando's post with ➕ about 18 hours ago
