According to @JeffDean, Google has published a technical paper outlining a comprehensive methodology for measuring the environmental impact of Gemini AI inference. The analysis reveals that a median text prompt in Gemini Apps consumes only 0.24 watt-hours of energy, comparable to the energy used for watching a brief online video. This benchmark sets a new standard for AI model efficiency and provides businesses with actionable data to assess the sustainability of AI-powered applications. The detailed reporting on Gemini's energy use highlights growing industry emphasis on sustainable AI development and offers enterprises key insights for optimizing operational costs and meeting environmental goals (source: Jeff Dean on Twitter, August 21, 2025).
