How the Energy Indicator Works
Summary
Explains GreenPT's energy usage indicator for model processing, measured in watt-hours for conversations, and clarifies scope limitations.
Key quotes
"GreenPT attributes energy use to model processing and displays reported usage in the product."
"The displayed figure is not a complete measurement of your device, network, hardware manufacture or original model training."
"Watt-hours measure energy, not money. A conversation can include multiple model calls and follow-up turns."
This GreenPT Help page details how the energy indicator quantifies energy consumption for model inferences, presented in watt-hours for conversations. It emphasizes that the measurement excludes broader factors like device use, network transmission, or original model training. The documentation also links to GreenPT’s methodology and sustainability pages for further context.
