Compression Needed a Carbon Break-Even Ledger
Two internship projects compare the footprint of ML training and inference with storage saved by lossless compression.
Summary
Two internship projects compare the footprint of ML training and inference with storage saved by lossless compression.
The note frames environmental benefit as a break-even calculation instead of assuming that fewer stored bytes are automatically greener. It is a concise project report, not a universal lifecycle estimate.
