Full development of 7B and 32B Olmo 3 models used 12.3 GWh datacenter energy and emitted 4,251 tCO2eq, with development overheads accounting for 82% of compute and reasoning models costing 17x more to post-train than instruction-tuned ones.
Analysis of a compiled dataset shows steadily rising production-related environmental impacts for NVIDIA workstation graphics cards from 2013 to 2025.
GreenZ is a conceptual three-layer sustainable UX framework built on ten principles, five operational systems, and practical tools, centered on an eight-type Digital Waste Taxonomy and a model questioning AI necessity before implementation.
Constraint-aware greedy heuristics jointly allocate models, heterogeneous GPUs, TP/PP, and routing for SLO-constrained LLM inference in seconds, with better out-of-sample robustness than cost-minimal MILP plans.
MADP multi-agent pipeline with human-in-the-loop achieves 97% full automation on 955 real documents, 98.5% accuracy on ablation set, and 69-70% reductions in FTE, energy, and emissions versus manual processing.
A review of AI sustainability studies finds inconsistent life cycle definitions and predominant reliance on coarse CO2e proxies, with limited coverage of water, materials, and multi-impact assessments.
Surveys energy footprints of image ML and proposes modest technical solutions including tiny models, low-precision hardware, and true-cost accounting driven by critiques of shareholder efficiency metrics.
Proposes a five-bucket taxonomy of LLM harms and calls for dynamic auditing, but the systematic review behind it is not reproducible and contains mismatched citations.
