Definitely bringing along @kadironureren with me. Give him and @use_covalent a follow if you haven't – you'll be hearing about them lots as the web3/climate space grows. And join us! Weather should be… better than it is now… it was sunny last year

How many hyped up industries can I include in one marketing sentence? This #vc is hosting a #nocode/#lowcode workshop to build with #ai at this #climate #web3 event! In Seattle. In person!

Methodology flaw in AI emissions estimation across power sources
By
–
As an extreme version: taking work that was actually run on EfficientAcceleratorsA in SolarPowerDataCenterB & then estimating what happens if you were to run it on WarehouseOfIBMPCs powered by CoalPowerPlant & saying work produces lots of emissions doesn't seem reasonable to me.

Carbon emissions computation carbon footprint AI model training
By
–
Because carbon emissions is highly dependent on which data center you run in, which electricity grid it is powered by, etc. If you want to talk about the amount of computation needed to train one model architecture vs. another, that seems reasonable to compare abstractly.

NAS Cost Methodology: Distinguishing One-Time Versus Recurring Expenses
By
–
Presenting the one-time cost of a NAS that has already been conducted in an energy efficient environment (and the best architecture from it open sourced) as if it was an every problem cost is pretty confusing to the reader. "Counting building the factory for every car produced."

NAS Results Reduce Language Model Training Emissions by 1.3X
By
–
It's actually more ironic. The results of one-time NAS (which took 88X less CO2 than the external paper estimated) are open-sourced and make training language models 1.3X faster & produce 1.3X less emissions (see figure 4 in https://

Neural Network Search Emissions Metric Accuracy Questioned
By
–
Fwiw, "lifetime emissions of five cars" metric is wrong & based on inaccurate data & confusion about the one-time vs. every problem misunderstanding of neural architecture search (NAS), proxy tasks, &HW used. It's really a factor of 19X, 88X, 3261X, or 118,000X less than that.
