AI inference consumes real electricity. Forge's compression, caching, and routing layers reduce that consumption automatically — with transparent, citation-backed methodology.

Infinite Context Engine compresses prompts by 40-60%, meaning fewer tokens processed and less energy per inference call.
Identical or near-identical queries are served from cache — zero inference energy. Cache hits avoid the GPU entirely.
Simple queries route to smaller, more efficient models. A 7B model uses ~70% less energy than a 175B model for the same task.
Our calculations use conservative lower-bound estimates from peer-reviewed research. We cite every source. We never inflate numbers. When in doubt, we round down.
