I built a browser extension that estimates the energy consumption of my ChatGPT usage ⚡️ It’s open source, fully private (everything runs locally), and works pretty smoothly. A few heads-ups - this is an early version: 🚨 The methodology is based on estimates, and the assumptions about OpenAI's infrastructure are quite optimistic (e.g., assuming GPT-4o has low parameter activation, etc.). 🚨 Right now, it only works with ChatGPT, and the measurements assume the model in use is GPT-4o. 🚨 It currently supports Chromium (Chrome, Arc, etc.) browsers only. The extension is free. Link’s in the comments. Super curious to hear your thoughts! 🌿
