ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity

www.tomshardware.com ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity

But the figures rely on hardware and usage assumptions that may be inaccurate.

Say what now

That said, the published findings are just an estimate — and that estimate relies on a lot of estimates.

I can mow my lawn with less than 150 watt-hours. The fact that a 60 second conversation with ChatGPT can surpass that is alarming.

These fucks are going to price us all out of electrifying our homes and apartments.

Weird, Deepseek runs on a little mini PC.
- To be fair, you need to spend a machine that's a bit beefier than a mini PC to run full DeepSeek, but yeah it's very much consumer grade hardware we're talking about.

I'm gonna be so fuckin mad if it turns out that the thing that pushes us off the climate cliff is mfs getting the dumbest computer in the world misremembering a Google search at em
- The good news is that the US simply doesn't have grid capacity to deploy this stuff at that scale. Meanwhile, in China new capacity is being built pretty much entirely with renewables.
