Hey hive mind, do we have any numbers on training data size / model size / training and query energy consumption of the most recent "AI" tools (the ones sold by Anthropic, OpenAI and the like)?
https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1116327/ai-energy-usage-climate-footprint-big-tech/ is almost a year old now, same for most evaluations on https://huggingface.co/spaces/AIEnergyScore/Leaderboard
I've found https://www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-01-20-cc-impact/ for Claude Code but that's a lot of guesswork
