Yes, the title is a bit clickbaity...

But, the numbers are real. Training Stable Diffusion in a cleaner region could’ve saved over 15,000 kg CO₂e and around $150k.

Where we train models matters more than ever, not just for the planet, but for your bottom line too.

I want to explore how we can shift certain compute to the lowest CO2 regions, saving money and CO2 along the way.

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you've made region-level decisions for training infrastructure. I know it’s rare to find devs with hands-on experience here, but if you're one of them, your insights would be gold.
