How much energy is needed to generate an image? ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿง โšก๏ธ
Up to 4.08 Wh โ€” like charging your phone to 40%!
In our new study we tested 17 models & 9,000+ runs.

Other key finds:
โšก๏ธ Model energy use varies up to 46x
๐Ÿ“ Resolution matters, prompts don't
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Quantization โ‰  savings

Software testing consumes ever-increasing resources. GenAI may only exacerbate the issue.

What can we do about it?

In our new @icseconf.bsky.social NIER paper we present "Energy-Aware Software Testing", with both broad strategies and a PoC algorithm.
