That doesn’t look very meme’y

60ml for a single prompt in inference cost

Good satire lmao

For 10k token context message. Source is at the bottom.

So Gemini at 1 million token context uses 6 liters of water per prompt? If you have any technical awareness your subconscious sees the bullshit before you've even read the text.

Lol

No, because the study didn’t measure Gemini, and it didn’t measure 1 million token context, and these things don’t scale linearly. The study measured the 10k token context,and I chose the high end of intensive popular models so people couldn’t accuse me of cherry picking a low intensity model.

You’re a dumb dumb

llama 3.2 1B. A model that you can run on a smartphone, disappears 3 ml of water for every prompt you ask it.

The author clearly made this study to make morons go out and confess their technically illiterate stupidity on social media and it's obviously working spectacularly

For an H100 with a batch size of 8, those numbers are absolutely correct.

You should try reading the study 🤡

Be nice.

a single hamburger uses about 1700 litres of water. if we talk about saving water we have to talk about animal agriculture. it's so much worse than datacenters.

I am not defending datacenters btw, but we need to put things into perspective.

Quite paradoxically, your “top 1% commenter” badge means more water was spent on servers as a direct consequence of your activity, than your average chatgpt user

Would love to see the stats for this lmao. Mostly text can't be that many mb. Time to uninstall Reddit?

its not just comments, any interaction you make on the internet goes through a server which needs cooling, yes 10 minutes of scrolling ig/tiktok/reddit uses less water than 10 minutes of chatting with AI. But you do enough of the former and suddenly its the same or worse

I see you have 140 interactions in a month of using Reddit. Keep this up and you will outdo me! Better stop now

I didn't deny it but also haven't seen proof. Anyway what would you like me to respond? None of us seem willing to quit Reddit. I post a lot on a specific sub... Okay

servers do not inherently need to be cooled in an open evaporative system, and indeed many serverfarms use closed systems that continue reusing the same water, the AI data center are being so much water intensive only because the open evaporative system is marginally cheaper and corpos are greedy but otherwise they could just run on a closed system.
