So, referring specifically to the example they show on the front-page, what value does this bring actually? The best example they could come up with is Typescript migration ? Really? Weren't the LLMs supposed to be a superior alternative to searching the web? Why do we need to produce more CO2 to do the same we could have done at the fraction of the cost, of course at the time when the google search was still working?
- simonw 2y agoThe CO2 concerns of using LLMs are massively overblown these days (with the exception of o1-pro and GPT-4.5 at least). The energy efficiency of most models has improved by an order of magnitude since the most widely cited CO2 usage papers were published. (It remains frustratingly difficult to get accurate numbers though: at this point I think more transparency would help rather than hurt the big AI labs)

- hansmayer 2y agoI meant that as a side note, but even if we put the CO2 issue completely aside, I am still failing to see what is this "feature" bringing, and judging by the lame example they picked, the Anthropic are not quite sure either.
