• At the top, in the menu bar, it’s good old iStat Menus
• On the right side this is MX Power Gadget
• And in the terminal, on the left, it’s asitop

I think they all read from the same source, powermetrics, but interpret it in slightly different ways.

Oh wow, that would be much more than I expected. Could make a lot of sense as the LLM is probably hitting the RAM very hard. Thank you 🙌

I’m not training, just running inference for fun every now and then. This question was mostly just for curiosity. But thank you, you are right!

That’s a good point actually! Thanks

Hm, you are right, I do also remember the anandtech article on m1 max power draw. Maybe the tool really isn’t reading reading the draw correctly 🤔 It’s still interesting though, if I run a 3D game on my MBP i draw maybe 65-70W under full load. The LLM must be using some component that the 3D game isn’t 🤷‍♂️
