›What is Intelligence Per Watt?

Intelligence Per Watt is a browser-based calculator for estimating likely waste in OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, gateway, voice, document, and coding-agent spend. It models retries, premium-model usage, cache opportunities, prompt or history bloat, agent-loop amplification, and request growth. Paid reviews use the calculator summary and sanitized billing exports rather than API keys, raw prompts, or production access.

›What are the pros and cons of Intelligence Per Watt?

Strengths

Requires no login, API key, production access, raw prompts, or raw outputs
Covers multiple providers, gateways, voice workloads, document workflows, and coding agents
Produces a quick estimate of monthly and annualized potential waste
Paid reviews can use sanitized exports containing model spend, request volume, token usage, failures, retries, latency, and top workflows

Trade-offs

The free calculator is a heuristic screening estimate, not a bill audit
Results depend on rough usage assumptions when traces are unavailable
It does not provide usage monitoring
The tool does not guarantee savings and is not financial advice
Paid reviews require users to export and submit sanitized billing or usage data
