Hosts Adi and Valeria cover new research showing that faster AI models do not always use less energy, especially when multiple models run in parallel. They highlight how the lack of standardized metrics makes it difficult to fairly compare energy efficiency and can lead to inconsistent reporting. They also discuss a curated set of open-source tools for measuring software energy use and why measurement is a critical but challenging first step. Finally, they explore a broader view of digital sustainability beyond carbon and highlight the launch of the Green Software Foundation website as a key resource.
