Greta would be proud, but I’m not sure how the number of tokens relates to energy consumption.
Soon the AI companies will have different tiers of plan based on carbon output. For $200 per month they’ll only use carbon-free power sources for your prompts. At $100 they’ll use nuclear, then $20 per month for coal, and then there will be a free tier where your prompts are powered by throwing baby seals into a furnace.
Thank you! For me, I wish it was just a simple command that outputs how much I have used out of my plan already. Also I feel it’s a bummer that I need python when CC is a node.js tool.
For cursor users, a similar extension to monitor usage: https://github.com/Dwtexe/cursor-stats
they really should integrate this kind of thing, it is very annoying
With uv, is there a way to install Python and Node tools like this in a self-contained way so they appear to the system as a single executable? I guess I don't want to duplicate Python/Node for every tool, but I also don't want it to be fragile. And this wants a Node CLI tool installed globally, which I've found breaks easily with changing versions.
Good point, yes i can do it. If you can please add issue in github and i will implement it :D
Anyone else have a bunch of fun with Claude Code's Github integration... until you realized it spends from your API wallet balance? Oops, when I saw the /install-github-app command, I assumed that since I'm on a max plan and Claude Code in my terminal is free, then the Github integration would be free. So I hooked it up to my repo and tagged @claude in everything. It was a lot of fun tagging it in backburner issues a…
This is great. I built a UI tool to run simultaneous Claude Code sessions ( https://github.com/stravu/crystal ) but by working on multiple features at once I hit the limits of my max account. Usually close to the reset, but it would be nice to know when it is time to take a break.

This may be pedantic, but I'm guessing baby seals are a renewable resource.

Or just straight to CO2. Google said 1000 tokens emits 8.3g CO2. How many tokens used in a heavy vibe coding day? Average US daily per capita is like 40kg CO2
I don’t understand the concern of this. Let’s say it says you’ve used 1.521kg of CO2 today. How is that actionable? A single flight from JFK to LAX produces around 20,000kg of CO2. Using the 8.3g value means a flight is equivalent to 2.41 billion tokens.
For now, sure it might be ridiculously minor, but when it starts to ramp up who's to say it wont be just a ridiculous amount of energy ? Maybe not even measure the CO2, but I would love to graph the increase of energy spent over time.
