Want a detailed analysis? Be ready to sweat for it! One of the cool things I did at #SmartCityDay is ride a stationary bike for data science
🔌🚴📉🔥

By extrapolating the (virtual) energy cost of prompts to a GPT-OSS 120B model on a Mac Mini server, the experiment set up by the BFH medical informatics group called #enerKI helps to make the relative energy efficiency of simple and complex prompt responses evident.

On a screen a series of prompts and responses along with color indicators of wattage from stationary bike, and how much is needed to produce an AI response.

Transcript:

Laut WHO sollen Städte vorrangig öffentliche Verkehrsmittel (Bus,
Strassen-/U-Bahn, Light-Rail) und aktive, emissionsfreie Fortbewegungsarten
(Rad- und Fussverkehr) priorisieren.
Welche Transportmittel sollen laut WHO in Städten priorisiert werden? Gib mir eine
möglichst kurze Antwort,
Du hast bereits die Hälfte hinter dir. Weiter so!

Main takeaways from the closing panel:

- #Apertus needs to be used to explain how AI works across the production chain, used as a model of models, and encourage more local “baby Apertus” quantized and embedded versions;
- There is a strong interest in using academia-approved LLM in education and science communications;
- AI is still seen as a curious toy in much of industry, not delivering clear ROI, threatening to pull various carpets out from under feet;
- Research on the training side is needed to establish not just competitiveness, also dataset bias and ethical guardrails;
- Vibe coding is here to stay, but probably not really where we would expect;
- Public AI is a movement to even the playing field that we should embrace.

With thanks to the organizers particularly @barochat for a spectacular #SmartCityDay
