Notably, OpenAI declined to share any information with us when we were putting our story together. We would welcome more transparency from @sama and other industry leaders.

The actual energy requirements for inference are something the big AI shops, from @GoogleDeepMind to the likes of @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI that lean in on responsible AI, are extremely mum on, even as they ask for more energy resources that ratepayers will live with for decades.

Our reporting found that the type of query, and where it is processed, can dramatically affect its energy use and carbon output. Sam does not define an average query, but video, reasoning, agents, etc. can all have significantly different energy requirements.

In a recent post on the singuarity, @sama says in an aside that the average ChatGPT query uses "about .34 watt-hours". This is something we have spent a lot of time on!
