Mistral AI released a large language model environmental assessment report, revealing challenges in the sustainable development of AI technology. The report shows that 85.5% of carbon emissions and 91% of water consumption are concentrated in the training and inference phases. 18 months of operation produced 20.4 tons of carbon dioxide and consumed 281,000 cubic meters of water. A single interaction of 400 tokens produces 1.14 grams of carbon emissions and 45 milliliters of water consumption. The company acknowledges the limitations of the study, such as hardware performance evaluation, but the data align with industry assessments. Mistral calls for increased industry transparency and commits to updates.

Netflix used generative AI in 'El Eternauta' to speed up building collapse effects by 10x, cutting costs and time. The show, with 2000 VFX shots, was well-received. While AI enables advanced effects for creators, it sparks debate over job losses and artistic quality. Netflix previously faced criticism for AI voice cloning, as rivals like Amazon explore AI in filmmaking. AI reshapes production but balancing efficiency and artistry remains a challe....

Netflix has for the first time extensively applied AI technology in the Argentine science fiction series 'Eternals,' using AI to assist with special effects scenes such as building collapses, significantly increasing production efficiency by ten times. The company's CEO, Reed Hastings, emphasized that AI can enhance creative quality, not just reduce costs. The series includes 2000 visual effects shots, and AI technology allows projects with smaller budgets to achieve high-level special effects. Despite industry controversy over AI (such as the Hollywood strike opposing its use), Netflix continues to explore the application of AI in pre-visualization and shot planning. In addition to special effects,

OpenAI announced a 100x expansion plan, aiming to deploy over 1 million GPUs by 2025. The core elements include: 1) The Stargate project, which involves an investment of $50 billion to build the world's largest AI training cluster in Texas; 2) Restructuring the chip supply chain; 3) Addressing energy challenges. The project is chaired by SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and involves collaborations with industry giants such as Oracle, Arm, and Microsoft. This strategic move will reshape the AI infrastructure landscape and drive the industry into a new phase of rapid development, expected to have a significant impact on the market.
