Reducing Energy Consumption in Large Language Models
Challenges and Solutions
Large language models like GPT-3 consume substantial energy during training and inference. This energy usage varies based on factors such as model size, task complexity, and hardware specifications. Optimizing energy consumption without compromising model efficiency is crucial.
Researchers have developed Perseus, a framework that minimizes both intrinsic and extrinsic energy bloat in large language model training. Perseus efficiently pre-characterizes the entire iteration time energy and mitigates extrinsic energy bloat through suboptimal energy reduction.
Practical Implications
Integrating Perseus into the training workflow has strong implications for the future of AI development. It has the potential to greatly enhance the sustainability of distributed training in the proliferation of large language models and general AI.
