AI agentic coding experiment yields functional frontend, explores carbon footprint

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The project, which took about an hour to create, resulted in a small, pure HTML/CSS/JS file. The user also explored the environmental impact of AI development, estimating that training a large model emits 500-1000 tons of CO2, with ongoing usage contributing approximately 112g per session, leading to a total of about 1112g of CO2 for their project.
