AI teams lack visibility into the carbon footprint of their model training and inference. A dashboard could integrate with major cloud providers and frameworks to track emissions per token or API call. Sustainability officers would pay to meet environmental reporting requirements. Start with basic calculations for popular models on major cloud platforms. Competition from cloud providers building their own tools is the main risk.
