Study finds LLM reasoning uses 3.7× more inference energy on average: A study measured inference energy for 86 open-weight LLM checkpoints across seven benchmarks and six hardware platforms. Most configurations used a median 2.6–4.8× more energy than another configuration scoring at least as well, with gaps up to 27×; reasoning raised energy about 3.7× on average.
