The plan calls for research into enabling technologies such as storage, data compression and distributed-training frameworks. It also calls for progress in high-bandwidth memory, fast interconnects and low-power computing.

It also proposes a framework to assess and disclose resource consumption by generative-AI service providers. These are policy workstreams; the announcement does not measure energy savings already achieved.
