EcoLogits Energy Calculator

The EcoLogits Calculator is a free online tool designed to estimate the environmental impact of using generative AI models. Developed by the non-profit GenAI Impact, it allows users to select a specific AI model (like those from OpenAI or Google) and a use case (e.g., writing an email, summarising a document). The calculator then provides an overview of the environmental cost, including energy consumption and carbon footprint, using accessible equivalents to help interpret the data. It aims to raise awareness about the environmental challenges of AI, particularly during the energy-intensive inference stage.
