AI cryptomining network's 320,000 RTX 3090-class GPUs allegedly burn 112 megawatts of power on ‘zero useful AI computation’ — GPU rental costs jump 38%, but Pearl’s cards are doing random matrix math, study claims
A preprint claims Pearl’s AI mining network consumes 320,000 GPU-equivalents and 112 MW while producing no verified useful AI computation.
A study suggests an AI cryptomining network is using 320,000 high-end GPUs, equivalent to 112 megawatts of power. The network's activities are said to involve random mathematical operations without producing any verified AI results. The energy consumption is significantly high, raising concerns about efficiency and purpose. GPU rental prices have increased by 38% due to this demand. The network's operations are under scrutiny for their lack of practical AI applications. Researchers are questioning the legitimacy and value of the network's activities. The findings highlight the growing environmental and economic impact of such operations.
The massive energy use and lack of productive AI output raise concerns about sustainability and resource allocation.
