The same AI request emits 8.5 times more CO2 in Texas than in Sweden
What happened
Berget AI released an open‑source method that calculates the carbon emissions of each individual AI request based on the electricity grid where the request runs. Using this method, a typical request to the Kimi K3 model emits about 0.4 g CO₂ in Sweden and 3.2 g CO₂ in Texas – 8.5 times more in Texas than in Sweden.
Why it matters
The method lets customers see emissions per request, enabling them to compare providers and choose lower‑carbon options.
Is this a big deal?
