How much energy is needed to generate an image? 🎨🧠⚡️
Up to 4.08 Wh — like charging your phone to 40%!
In our new study we tested 17 models & 9,000+ runs.
Other key finds:
⚡️ Model energy use varies up to 46x
📐 Resolution matters, prompts don't
🛠️ Quantization ≠ savings
📄 Preprint: lnkd.in/dKWWAETW

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.
