Intelligence Per Watt: Evaluating Local AI Model Efficiency
The study introduces 'intelligence per watt' (IPW) as a metric to evaluate local AI models' efficiency, showing they achieve 88.7% accuracy on real-world tasks while consuming less power than cloud-based solutions. It demonstrates a 5.3x improvement in IPW from 2023-2025, highlighting potential for redistributing AI workloads from centralized infrastructure to local devices.
