Sasha Luccioni, a research scientist at Hugging Face, works on measuring and reducing the environmental impact of machine learning models through projects like the Big Science Workshop's carbon footprint working group. Her team developed a real-time carbon emissions calculator called CodeCarbon and found that training location matters significantly—choosing a hydroelectric grid like Quebec reduces emissions by roughly 100 times compared to coal-based grids like Australia. Machine learning engineers can now make informed decisions about where and when to train models to minimize their environmental footprint.
