    “I was honestly hoping this community to care more.”

    So you want us to all go destroy paintings in art gallery and super glue our hands to the road with you?

      Please, do whatever you want to protect the environment you cherish. My point though was literally asking somebody who did point a better way to do it if they were aware of all the costs of their solution. If you missed it, their answer was clear : they do not know and they do not care. I was not suggesting activism, solely genuinely wondering if they actually understood the impact of the alternative they showcased. Honestly, just do whatever you can.

      You looking for an excuse? No one else brought it up but if you need permission, go ahead. Thumbs up from me.

      You know what, again maybe I’m misreading you.

      If you do want to help, do try with me to answer the question. I did give a path to the person initially mentioning the Model Card. Maybe you are aware of that but just in cased a Model Card is basic meta-data about a model, cf https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/model-cards

      Some of them do mention CO2 equivalent, see https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/model-cards-co2 so here I don’t know which model they used but maybe finding a way have CO2 equivalent for the most popular models, e.g DeepSeek, and some equivalent (they mentioned not driving a car) would help us all grasping at least some of the impact.

      What do you think?
