The ecological costs don't need to be very high. We host our own LLM models at my company on a Mac Mini, which doesn't use a ton of power and works pretty well.

FWIW I did try few LLMs locally too (cf my notes on the topic https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence ) but AFAIK that is only the top of the iceberg, that LLM has been trained before and that's a significant part of the cost.
