CO2-Meter: A Comprehensive Carbon Footprint Estimator for LLMs on Edge Devices
AAAI 2026technical
LLMs have transformed NLP, yet deploying them on edge devices poses great carbon challenges. Prior estimators remain incomplete, neglecting peripheral energy use, distinct prefill/decode behaviors, and SoC design complexity. This paper presents CO2-Meter, a unified framework for estimating operation
