New API spec proposal adds environmental impact metadata

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This proposal aims to integrate metadata concerning energy consumption, carbon emissions, and water usage into API calls. A key tenet of IRM/0.1 is its strict policy against fabricating data; if a value is unavailable, it will be explicitly stated as such, rather than being assigned a zero value. AI
