A new research paper proposes an energy-geography framework to analyze how AI inference can be treated as relocatable electricity demand. The framework models a three-layer architecture and optimizes inference placement based on factors like electricity prices, carbon intensity, and network latency. It introduces metrics such as 'energy return on latency' and a 'relocation break-even condition' to quantify the benefits and limitations of moving computation to reduce costs and environmental impact.
