Estimation methodology

The effort setting says how much the model reasons before answering: the higher it is, the more tokens it writes, and the more electricity the task needs. Tokens per task are measured by Epoch AI.

Electricity: Projet Celsius estimate. Tokens of the task × electricity ofwriting 1,000 tokens for the size of the model (AI Impact Database, IA-0011), × the data centre overhead (PUE). The scope covers computing on the servers and cooling; it does not cover chip manufacturing, training, the network or the device. CursorBench counts tokens read and written together: the range runs from "all read" to "all written". DeepSWE counts tokens written: the range starts from writing alone.

Model size unknown: electricity use is not estimated. Benchmark: a quick question to an assistant needs about 0.3 Wh.
