Vision-Language Models Reduce LLM Inference Energy by Encoding Time-Series as Images

LLM inference consumes over 90% of AI operational energy, scaling with input token count, which is inefficient for telecom network analytics involving large multivariate time-series data. Vision-Language Models address this by converting time-series data into 2D plots, reducing token count and cutt...

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

LLM inference accounts for over 90% of AI operational energy, scaling directly with input token count---a critical inefficiency for telecom network analytics and numerical time-series data analysis (NTSDA), where raw multivariate KPI windows from 4G/5G cell sites expand into thousands of floating-point tokens....

Reducing energy consumption in LLM inference is critical for scaling AI applications in telecom and other fields with large numerical datasets. Using VLMs to encode data visually offers a practical method to improve efficiency and accuracy simultaneously.
