While this approach can be effective if the model is trained with a large amount of data, even in the best-case scenarios, it amounts to an informed guess, rather than a certainty. Because IT systems change often, AI models trained only on historical data struggle to diagnose novel events. That’s where causal AI can help.

One effective capacity-management strategy is to switch from a reactive approach to an anticipative approach: all necessary capacity resources are measured, and those measurements are used to train a prediction model that forecasts future demand. You can use any DQL query that yields a time series to train a prediction model.

Research from 2020 suggests that training a single LLM generates around 300,000 kg of carbon dioxide emissions—equal to 125 round-trip flights from New York to London. As we onboard more customers, the platform requires more infrastructure, leading to increased carbon emissions. This adoption will further impact carbon emissions.
