Report Carbon equivalent footprint of a user requests
I think I do not have to explain that energy consumption of LLMs even doing only inférence is high.
Since Proton has always promoted transparency over source code of its tools, I believe it should also pioneer transparency on this matter.
There exist libraries to wrap function calls and estimate co2 équivalent (e.g. mlco2)

Underrated but deeply important request I feel. Proton has the opportunity to make Lumo so much more than just another AI model by being ethically transparent on top of maintaining secure privacy. I really hope this suggestion doesn't get lost in the waves-- it's a small touch but one that could really boost the company's image and make people more mindful of what they prompt.
