Mmm yes so all that electricity is pure waste

Genuine question, does anyone know how much of the electricity is used for training the model vs using it to generate responses?

Not specifically, but training is pretty fucking expensive to do, while generating is kinda easy. The OpenAI models are massive, training them cost a lot. Though they also have a lot of traffic. But unless they stop training new models, I don't think generating answers will ever catch up to training.

For perspective, all of the data centers in the US combined use 4% of total electric load.
