This is as if the EU required Coca Cola to print the recipe on the bottle. They would just stop selling original Coke in the EU rather than disclose that. What is more likely is that OpenAI, Google etc will train EU-specific models for the EU market.

It's more like requiring Coca-Cola to print which ingredients they put into it.

I gotta say I don't see the point of the two compute requirements - the measure energy and reduce energy consumption part seems like it would be something a company would want to do by itself as that is a cost.

and I'm not sure what disclosing the training time and power used to train the model tells anyone?

on edit: tells anyone that is a consumer of the product and might have legitimate worries which would be a good prompt to legislation, added edit in for eager HN downvoter who didn't like my asking the question.

Tracking "Energy" for what is otherwise a compressed version of the entire internet at your disposal seems so green-washed and disingenuous. Whatever "Energy" consumption those models have - it's peanuts compared to the alternatives.

The energy/environmental costs may be small compared to the potential usefulness of foundation models, but it's hard to make that assessment without data.
