Running
The goal of the ML.ENERGY Leaderboard is to give people a sense of how much energy LLMs would consume.
Columns
gpu
: NVIDIA GPU model name. Note that NLP evaluation was only run once on our A40 GPUs, so this column only changes system-level measurements like latency and energy.task
: Name of the task. See Tasks below for details.energy
(J): The average energy consumed by the model to generate a response.throughput
(token/s): The average number of tokens generated per second.latency
(s): The average time it took for the model to generate a response.response_length
(token): The average number of tokens in the model's response.parameters
: The number of parameters the model has, in units of billion.
Tasks
For each task, every model uses the same system prompt. We still account for differences in roles, e.g. USER
, HUMAN
, ASSISTANT
, GPT
.
Name | System prompt |
---|---|
chat | A chat between a human user (prompter) and an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. |
chat-concise | A chat between a human user (prompter) and an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. The assistant's answers are very concise. |
instruct | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. |
instruct-concise | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. The response should be very concise. |
You can see that response length is shorter on average for the -concise
variants of the tasks.
This affects the number of decoding iterations the model has to run in order to finish responding, thus affecting latency and energy consumption per prompt.
