Lumen and Emerald AI explore power-aware routing for AI inference

Lumen and Emerald AI are exploring a pilot that would factor electricity availability into decisions about where AI inference runs, alongside latency, security and cost. No pilot results, measured savings or production date were disclosed.

• Routing would weigh power, network, latency, security and cost
• Emerald AI proposes moving inference requests to sites with available power
• No pilot results or production timeline were published
