Enroll for free: https://bit.ly/3KUeqyw Today we’re launching Carbon Aware Computing for GenAI Developers, a new short course made in collaboration with Google Cloud and taught by Nikita Namjoshi, Developer Advocate at Google Cloud and Google Fellow on the Permafrost Discovery Gateway. Training, fine-tuning, and serving generative AI models can be demanding in terms of compute and energy. But these processes don't have to be as carbon-intensive if you choose when and where to run them in the cloud. In this course, you’ll learn how to perform model training and inference jobs with cleaner, low-carbon energy in the cloud. Explore how to measure the environmental impact of your machine learning jobs and how to optimize their use of clean electricity, and: - Query real-time electricity grid data: Explore the world map, and based on latitude and longitude coordinates, get the power breakdown of a region (e.g. wind, hydro, coal etc.) and the carbon intensity (CO2 equivalent emissions per kWh of energy consumed). - Train a model with low-carbon energy: Select a region that has a low average carbon intensity to upload your training job and data. Optimize even further by selecting the lowest carbon intensity region using real-time grid data from ElectricityMaps. - Retrieve measurements of the carbon footprint for ongoing cloud jobs. - Use the Google Cloud Carbon Footprint tool, which provides a comprehensive measure of your carbon footprint by estimating greenhouse gas emissions from your usage of Google Cloud. Throughout the course, you'll work with ElectricityMaps, a free API for querying electricity grid information globally. You'll also use Google Cloud to run a model training job in a cloud data center that is powered by low-carbon energy. Get started, and learn how to make more carbon-aware decisions as a developer!
