Is AI actually sustainable? Our apprentice Amirreza suggested the topic – a fair question at a time when AI models consume ever more electricity.

The problem: AI needs a lot of energy

Training large language models such as GPT-4 consumes amounts of electricity that get compared to the annual consumption of entire cities. In operation, too, the data centres of the large cloud providers are considerable sources of CO&sub2;.

On-premise as the greener alternative

Smaller models optimised for their purpose consume considerably less energy than the large all-rounders. KOSMO relies on efficient open-source models – adapted to your specific requirements.

KOSMO and sustainability

Splitbot works with green IT hosting partners that use renewable energy exclusively. Anyone running KOSMO there can use an almost climate-neutral AI solution.
