Can this newly-released information from Google be leveraged to improve ecologits estimates for Gemini models?

Thanks!

Hey @gmerritt, we are indeed well aware of this new paper, thanks for pinging us! 👍

We are currently working on updating our benchmarking data with new optimized methods (quantization, batching, vllm, etc.) and new hardware. Section 4.3 of this paper contains a list of optimization methods that should explain the majority of the x33 diminishing factor in energy in one year: so we can indeed leverage this list for our new benchmark (and therefore improve the methodology, even for other models that Gemini).
