A US resident consumes 76 MWh per year [0], so 1.52 GWh over 20 years. A single model can be trained once and used by millions. Therefore LLMs are ~10000x more

A US resident consumes 76 MWh per year [0], so 1.52 GWh over 20 years. A single model can be trained once and used by millions. Therefore LLMs are ~10000x more energy efficient than humans. https://ourworldindata.org/energy-production-consumption#per-capita-where-do-people-consume-the-most-energy https://ourworldindata.org/energy-production-consumption#per...
