Rules

ECO-AIM-AI-001 — Oversized model selection

Using larger models than needed increases inference cost and emissions.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-002 — No inference batching

No batching increases per-request overhead and lowers throughput.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-003 — Re-embedding unchanged data

Recomputing embeddings for unchanged inputs wastes compute.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-004 — No prompt caching

Repeated prompts without caching waste tokens and compute.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-005 — Always-on inference endpoints

Always-on endpoints waste baseline compute when idle.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-006 — Unbounded context window usage

Excessive context increases token cost and latency.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-007 — No model quantization

Failure to quantize when appropriate wastes inference compute.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-008 — Re-training without drift detection

Training without drift checks wastes compute and introduces risk.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-009 — No evaluation before scaling model

Scaling without evaluation wastes resources and can degrade outcomes.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-010 — Overly frequent fine-tuning cycles

Frequent tuning without clear value wastes compute.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-011 — Storing all embeddings indefinitely

Embedding stores without retention grow unbounded and expensive.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-012 — Large model in low-SLA workload

Using high-cost models where latency/quality needs are modest wastes resources.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-013 — No GPU utilization monitoring

Without GPU utilization metrics, accelerator waste stays invisible.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-014 — Inefficient feature preprocessing pipelines

Preprocessing waste increases training and inference cost.

  • Category: AIM
  • Family: AI

ECO-AIM-AI-015 — No batching of vector search queries

Unbatched vector queries increase overhead and reduce throughput.
