Summary
Large-language-model inference electricity demand varies significantly in carbon intensity across regions and times, enabling carbon-aware request routing without hardware changes. A live validation on multi-region GPU testbeds demonstrates routing based on marginal operating emissions rates to red...

What happened
Large-language-model inference is a fast-growing electricity load whose marginal carbon intensity varies by more than an order of magnitude across grid regions and across the day, making request placement an attractive lever: no retraining, no hardware change. We report a live validation of carbon-aware inference...
Why it matters
This approach offers a practical way to lower the carbon emissions of LLM inference by dynamically directing workloads to cleaner grids, leveraging existing infrastructure. It highlights a scalable method to improve AI sustainability without retraining models or modifying hardware.
