Estimated Energy Usage

Total Processing Time:482.72 hours
Estimated Energy:16.8952 kWh
Water Usage:0 gallons
Methodology: Energy usage is estimated based on the total processing time recorded for all AI inference calls. The platform runs LLM workloads locally on a Mac Mini M4 using LM Studio (40W max power draw). During local inference, the system utilizes the GPU and Neural Engine at near-maximum capacity, so we estimate an average power consumption of 35W. Energy (kWh) = Processing Time (hours) × 35W ÷ 1000. Water usage is 0 because the Mac Mini uses air cooling, unlike data center GPU clusters which require water for cooling.
