The inference power consumption of large language models is directly related to model scale, and a consumer-grade GPU running at full load can easily push total system power beyond several hundred watts.

UnverifiedMany large model inference workloads are bottlenecked by memory capacity rather than pure bandwidth73% similarUnverifiedHeavy users tend to use the most powerful models for the most complex tasks, resulting in per-unit compute costs far higher than those of light users.72% similarUnverifiedLarge language models often weigh tens of gigabytes, and their loading time and memory footprint pose new challenges to traditional elastic scaling strategies.72% similarUnverifiedLocally run coding models must account for engineering constraints such as quantization compression, inference speed, and memory footprint, so "laptop-sized" means the model's parameter scale is usually small (hundreds of millions to a few billion).70% similar
