We’ve updated the What Uses More app to reflect last week’s finding by Dr. Sasha Luccioni 🦋 and Boris Gamazaychikov that “reasoning” increases AI energy and water usage by 30x. The AI Energy Score project has released version 2 of its public leaderboard, now including a benchmark for models that perform more complex tasks via “reasoning” modes that involve intermediate steps, such as chain-of-thought. The results are striking: AI models with reasoning on average consume 30x mor…
