BIRDS: Characterizing and Understanding Biodiversity Impact of Large Language Model Serving
Researchers introduce BIRDS, a framework measuring biodiversity impacts from large language model serving beyond traditional carbon and water metrics. The study reveals that LLM deployment causes ecosystem damage through operational and embodied biodiversity pathways, with impacts scaling significantly across different models, GPUs, and regions.
