AI智能体能耗约为普通聊天提示的600倍
AI agents use roughly 600 times more energy than a simple chat prompt
气候科学家实测Claude Code，8周烧了170度电，比普通聊天费600倍，官方报告可没告诉你这些。
气候科学家Zeke Hausfather用八周时间追踪了Claude Code的使用，消耗了32亿个token。
这些操作约耗电170千瓦时，平均每个提示的能耗约为普通AI聊天提示的600倍。这一数据与Google和OpenAI公布的低能耗数字形成鲜明对比，反映出智能体AI的真实成本。
Hausfather认为，官方报告中的数字扭曲了基于智能体的AI实际能耗状况。
AI agents use roughly 600 times more energy than a simple chat prompt
Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather tracked his Claude Code usage over eight weeks: 3.2 billion tokens and about 170 kWh of data center electricity. Per prompt, that's roughly 600 times more than a typical AI chat. His data shows how much the low figures reported by Google and OpenAI distort the reality of agent-based AI.
