Training the model is the one-time cost. Answering your question is the bill that never stops
Everyone quotes the electricity a model burned during training. For anything widely used, that is the smaller number. Here is what a GPU is actually doing, why memory rather than arithmetic is usually the limit, and why published per-query energy figures differ by a factor of a hundred.

An image generator never learned to draw. It learned to remove noise — and that is the whole trick
The machine that turns a sentence into a picture was trained on exactly one task: predicting the static that was added to a photograph. Everything else — the prompt, the style, the strange failures, the copyright fight — follows from that.

AI can predict a protein's shape in minutes. That is not the same as knowing what it does
A fifty-year-old problem in biology broke open in 2020, and the method that cracked it does not simulate physics at all. Here is what a structure prediction is actually inferring, what its confidence score means, and the four things it still gets wrong.
