University of Twente researchers cut LLM training energy use by 14%

Researchers at the University of Twente have discovered a method to reduce energy consumption during LLM training by up to 14%. The technique involves adjusting the GPU clock frequency, which was found to decrease energy usage without impacting training speed. This finding was led by Ph.D. candidate Jeffrey Spaan. AI

IMPACT Potential to significantly reduce the energy footprint and cost of training large language models.
