Overall, when tested on 40 prompts, DeepSeek was found to have a similar energy efficiency to the Meta model, but DeepSeek tended to generate much longer responses and therefore was found to use 87% more energy.

So the answer, as always, is ban useless, power-sucking, unreliable, copyright-infringing AI.

That's naive. It's way too late for any of that. If some country decided to ban AI, all the engineers will just move somewhere else.

We don't even get any economic benefits from these subsidies.
