Feature Request - Add Carbon Footprint Metrics for Gemini for Workspace in Admin Console

Google Workspace Developers Q&A
1

Hello,

We are writing to submit a feature request concerning the carbon footprint solution within Google Workspace. We propose integrating the carbon impact data of Gemini for Workspace directly into the Admin Console dashboards. Having this information is crucial for us, as it would allow us to accurately measure and monitor our CO² emissions from cloud services.

Thanks for your help.

Main Stakes here are :

  • let know our users the energy consumption of Gemini requests.
  • knowing the environmental impacts of each Gemini LLM starting with clear energy consumption (KWh) in order to be able to make the right LLM choice balancing the needs & the environmental impact.

Hello,

Please adjust the requested sustainability indicators to be more specific. Accordingly to the INRIA recommendations the desired metrics for guiding model selection should be:

  1. Energy Consumption (kWh)

  2. Water Usage

  3. Lifespan of Compute, Data Management, and Network Equipment

Thanks in advance.
