Researchers have developed LLMSpace, a novel framework designed to model the carbon footprint associated with large language model inference on low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. This framework accounts for both operational and embodied carbon, including factors like launch emissions, manufacturing, and specialized hardware. LLMSpace aims to identify trade-offs between carbon impact, inference speed, hardware design, and satellite lifespan to promote sustainable space-based AI. AI
