What is the difference between EcoLogits and CodeCarbon?
EcoLogits is focused on estimating the environmental impacts of generative AI (only LLMs for now) used through API providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Cloud APIsβ¦) whereas CodeCarbon is more general tool to measure energy consumption and estimate GHG emissions measurement. If you deploy LLMs locally we encourage you to use CodeCarbon to get real numbers of your energy consumption.
