Also the incessant ammounts of power/energy that they consume.

Running an llm llocally takes less power than playing a video game.

The training of the models themselves also takes a lot of power usage.

They are using open source models that have already been trained. So no extra energy is going into the models.

Of course, I mean the training of the original models that the function is dependent on. It's not caused by VLC itself of course.
