Every AI feature ships an invisible bill.  
Cost. Energy. Water. Carbon. Hardware.  
Most teams see one.

Almost none see the full picture — and that gap is about to define the next era of how we build software.

Today, I am launching a new LinkedIn newsletter:

Green, Efficient AI

Building AI that is intelligent in what it delivers — and efficient in how it runs.  
The newsletter is an almost-daily read built around one small, actionable principle at a time.

No long essays. No abstract frameworks.  
Just one idea per issue — useful enough to bring into your work tomorrow.

Waste in AI doesn't live in one place.  
It runs through every layer — from the model to the prompt to the hardware itself.

Which means every role has something to contribute:  
Engineers across the lifecycle. Architects. Designers. Platform teams. Sustainability leads. Finance partners. End users.  
And increasingly, the agents consuming AI on our behalf.

No single role solves efficient AI alone.  
That is the conversation this newsletter is for.

Day 1 is live.

It explains why this newsletter exists and how it works.

If you build AI, fund it, design it, operate it — or simply use it every day — I'd love for you to subscribe and read along.
