I'm excited to share a really cool milestone in my AI/LLM journey.
Brief backstory: Before diving into AI, I spent over a decade working in ecological fields such as the conservation corps, biodynamic farming, and natural habitat restoration. This background instilled in me a deep concern about the environmental impact of scaling AI without sustainable practices.
Driven by this concern, I've spent months planning and experimenting to make my AI work more eco-friendly. I'm thrilled to announce that I've successfully transitioned my entire operation to run on 100% sustainable solar power!
My current setup includes multiple linked Mac Pro tower desktops and custom code built from open-source libraries. While it's a bit experimental, this configuration is working great for my needs. All my LLM research, development, and client services now run exclusively on solar energy.
I'm curious if anyone else here has experimented with renewable energy for their LLM work?
For those interested in more details, I've written a brief blog post about this journey here https://medium.com/@betalabsllm/powering-the-future-be-ta-labs-revolutionary-100-solar-powered-ai-operation-444433e61d43
