ImpactIA by SNCF

Impact’IA is a LLM environmental footprint calculator and a detailed methodology document, to help companies assess their IT environmental impact. It is the result of one year.man of research to gather academic work on this topic. It enables you, for 30 standard Gen AI models from Google, Anthopic, OpenAI and Mistral :

To compute GHG emissions, water usage, electricity consumption;
To visualize and understand the impact, from a component life cycle point of view;
To compare your results with 'similar models';
To get best practices for IT people in order to decrease environmental tootprint of Generative AI, which is a major concern. Methodology is roughly “token based” as we compute environmental impacts and then translate them to unit token. This tool was designed from a joint effort: SNCF Company, Resilio and Wavestone. Resilio and Wavestone have exceptionally skilled people and it was a pleasure for SNCF to drive this effort.
