Very engaging talk yesterday by @sarahalang on carbon reporting for LLM workflows as part of the DHd AG GKI webinar!

A very practical look at how the environmental impacts of LLM use can be made visible and documented in a comparable way. An important topic for the #DigitalHumanities and beyond.

The slides are already available online 👉 https://agki-dh.github.io/pages/webinar/page-18.html

There is also a related publication on the topic https://zenodo.org/records/17902822

Sarah Lang, Presentation, Quantifying the Environmental Impacts of LLMs in DH through Carbon Reporting

Zenodo

Quantifying the Environmental Footprint of Curating Datasets with LLMs

This study evaluates the environmental trade-offs of using large language models to curate cross-collection oral-history datasets in the Commoning Oral Histories of Knowledge (CORAL) project. Manual screening of 2,606 interviews was benchmarked against a workflow that tested four instruction-tuned LLMs and two prompt designs. Environmental impact was approximated using token-based inputs to EcoLogits, although implementing such assessments remains non-trivial. Ultimately, we conclude that the environmental impact of our project's use case could be considered moderate compared to common academic activities such as traveling to conferences. However, such impacts should be monitored closely, as they may vary significantly across different research setups and are likely to scale with larger datasets and broader adoption of LLMs in the field. Finally, the paper urges sufficiency-oriented practices and transparent carbon reporting in Computational Humanities research.

Most strikingly, she emphasises that just a few examples can cause far-reaching behavioural shifts in LLMs, potentially affecting current models as well. For practitioners, the takeaway is clear: careful training data curation and thorough testing after fine-tuning are essential.

Do you hate #broligarchs?
#Billionaires? #AiSlop but still think there is merit in #AI?

Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.

That's right.Your very own co-op AI

The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)

40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.

LETS GO!!!
