Paper analyzes prompt impact on on-device LLM energy use

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper explores the energy consumption of on-device Large Language Models (LLMs) by analyzing how prompt properties like cognitive load and phrasing patterns influence energy usage during inference. The study found that cognitive load impacts the energy cost per token, while phrasing patterns affect energy primarily through token count. This research highlights the importance of model-aware prompt design for achieving energy efficiency in on-device LLM applications. AI

IMPACT Highlights the trade-offs between prompt complexity and energy efficiency for on-device LLMs.

    How Do Prompt Variations Affect Energy Consumption in On-Device LLMs?

    arXiv:2609.01798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed on mobile devices, making energy efficiency a key deployment constraint, yet the energy impact of prompt design remains underexplored. This paper aims to understand how two prom…
