I measured the actual GPU electricity for eight local models on one RTX 3090 — and the cheapest wasn't the smallest, nor the priciest the biggest. The post How Much Does It Actually Cost to Run a Local LLM?
Five models, sustained generation, real wall-socket energy at $0. 31/kWh — and the surprise the RTX-3090 numbers predicted, only bigger.
Large Language Model (LLM) inference workloads are a rapidly growing contributor to data center energy consumption. Optimizing these deployments requires matching specific LLMs to the most efficient GPUs, but operators currently lack the tools to do so without exhaustively profiling each combination.

The operational energy consumption of large language model (LLM) inference is becoming an increasingly important component of the environmental footprint of deployed AI systems. However, direct measurement of inference energy often requires hardware telemetry, power instrumentation, or infrastructure-specific monitoring, limiting its applicability in comparative studies, early-stage system design, and sustainability reporting.
How a seemingly harmless move to a multi-agent architecture quietly tripled our LLM costs and what actually fixed it. The post The 3× Token Bill We Didn’t See Coming appeared first on Towards Data Science .
