Transparent Screening for LLM Inference and Training Impacts
About
This paper presents a transparent screening framework for estimating inference and training impacts of current large language models under limited observability. The framework converts natural-language application descriptions into bounded environmental estimates and supports a comparative online observatory of current market models. Rather than claiming direct measurement for opaque proprietary services, it provides an auditable, source-linked proxy methodology designed to improve comparability, transparency, and reproducibility.
