cool

here's Stanford HAI's graph on the carbon emitted from model training per model:

note that Grok's training, thanks to its portable gas generators that are magnitudes less efficient than even other integrated, permanent gas turbines, means the training for this model is dramatically less efficient than models like DeepSeek

a lot of the CO2 emission debate on AI is overblown but it's accurate for Grok
