On AI and energy
AI uses energy. So does every Google search, every video call, every Uber ride. Generating your complete gAIa plan uses roughly the energy of a 10-minute video call. We build on cloud infrastructure backed by renewable energy commitments.
Your garden offsets the compute carbon within the first few hours of its first growing season, then keeps going for 20 to 30 years.
"One afternoon of compute.
Decades of sequestration."
