People keep telling us that ai energy use is very low, but at the same time, companies keep building more and more giant power hungry datacenters. Something simply doesn’t add up.
Sure, a small local model can generate text at low power usage, but how useful will that text be, and how many people will actually use it? What I see is people constantly moving to the newest, greatest model, and using it for more and more things, processing more and more tokens. Always more and more.

Is your 2 in 1 one of those baytrail cpus with some atom z sonething? If so, they’re really problematic with linux, since they were released, due to some obscure stuff in their soc. I remember even people who formatted and reinstalles windows losing functionality.
