Editor's take on AI Energy Score

Aimed at procurement and model-selection teams that want comparable inference energy ratings across models and tasks without running a benchmark programme themselves. Ratings are 1-5 stars per task or model-size class, based on measured GPU energy in watt-hours submitted by developers, so a score reflects the submitted measurement setup rather than your hardware and prompts. It covers inference only and is a public leaderboard, not a metering tool, so production usage tracking needs separate instrumentation. Teams needing training energy or workload-specific attribution should look elsewhere.

Editor's take on Experiment Impact Tracker

Fits research groups that want a drop-in tracker producing energy, carbon and compute-utilisation logs, an online appendix and a generated carbon impact statement for papers. Hardware support is specific: Linux hosts with Intel RAPL or powergadget interfaces and NVIDIA GPUs, with real-time Californian grid intensity from caiso.com in that jurisdiction. The trade-off is scope: emissions are estimated from logged power and an intensity source, and the tool is research-oriented, so pipelines, dashboards and organisational rollups are not included. Teams outside those hardware or grid constraints should check support before adopting.
