Thermodynamic Computing Slashes AI-Image Energy Use

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed thermodynamic computing techniques that could generate AI images using one ten-billionth the energy of current methods. The approach uses physical circuits that respond to natural thermal noise instead of energy-intensive digital neural networks, though the technology remains rudimentary compared to existing AI image generators like DALL-E.
