Day 14 of Green, Efficient AI is live — The Grid You Didn't Choose.
Day 14 of Green, Efficient AI is live — The Grid You Didn’t Choose.
Most production AI runs in a region somebody picked years ago, on hardware procured for a different workload, and on schedules chosen for operational convenience rather than carbon performance.
None of those choices were carbon-aware. Most of them are still in place.
The same inference call can carry very different carbon footprints depending on where and when it runs. The model does not know. The bill is roughly the same. The atmosphere is not.
Today’s issue is about the part of the stack almost nobody owns — and one of the most underused efficiency levers in AI systems today.
