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).

According to OpenAI (@OpenAI), the new gpt-oss models were developed to enhance reasoning, efficiency, and practical usability across diverse deployment environments. The company emphasized that both models underwent post-training using a proprietary harmony response format to ensure alignment with the OpenAI Model Spec, specifically optimizing them for chain-of-thought reasoning. This advancement is designed to facilitate more reliable, context-aware AI applications for enterprise, developer, and edge use cases, reflecting a strategic move to meet business demand for scalable, high-performance AI solutions.
