> Deep-learning models have become pervasive tools in science and engineering. However, their energy requirements now increasingly limit their scalability.[1] They make this claim first, and cite one source. I haven't heard of this as an issue before. Is there anywhere else I could read more on this? [1]https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10350

This is somewhat well covered in prior research, in so far as the information required is available. Here are some recent evaluations of the carbon footprint of modern models: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.02243 (cited in the above paper) > The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides average CO2 produced (in pounds per kilowatt-hour) for power consumed in the U.S. (EPA, 2018), which we use to convert power to estimated CO2 emissions: > CO2e = 0.954 pt > This conversion takes into account the relative proportions of different energy sources (primarily natural gas, coal, nuclear and…

The paper is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10350 In section 4.8, they have a snarky comparison to Bitcoin: > Stated alternatively, ~70M people have Bitcoin wallets yet Google consumes 1/10th of Bitcoin’s energy to provide services for billions of people, and all of Google’s energy use is offset. I wrote a bit more commentary that I’ll link to instead of copying here: https://tildes.net/~enviro/wir/carbon_emissions_and_large_ne...
