Sustainability

Leaner, lower-impact AI.

Artificial intelligence uses real energy — and we don’t pretend otherwise. Here is what we do concretely to shrink its footprint, both in our data centers and inside the product.

Let’s be candid

No AI is ever zero-impact for the planet

Every AI reply requires computation on specialized processors that have to be powered and cooled. We never claim otherwise.

Our approach is straightforward: run on 100% renewable electricity, recover the heat generated by servers, and never spin up more compute power than a task actually needs.

The heat recovery cycle

Server heat warms local homes

At our hosting provider’s newest data center in Geneva, the heat given off by servers isn’t vented into the air — it is captured and fed straight into the municipal district heating network.

1. Servers computePowered by 100% renewable electricity.

2. Heat is capturedRecovered instead of being wasted outdoors.

3. District heating gridHeat flows into Geneva’s district heating network.

4. Homes stay warmThe equivalent of roughly 6,000 homes at full capacity.

And the cycle continues

Hosting side

Independently audited commitments

emi runs on infrastructure operated by a Swiss host that puts sustainability first — and backs it up with third-party audits.

Renewable electricity

Servers run on 100% renewable electricity.

Recovered heat

In Geneva, server heat feeds directly into the district heating network.

Product side

Right-sized compute for every request

There is no reason to spin up a massive reasoning model just to fix a typo in an email. emi matches compute power to the task at hand.

Automatic mode

Avoids calling a heavy model for a lightweight prompt — with zero manual effort from you.

Right-sized models

Open-source models matched to each task, including families like Mistral and Apertus.

Close to home

Your requests are processed on nearby Swiss infrastructure rather than halfway around the world.

Try it: pick a request

Select a task to see the right-sized mode.

RECOMMENDED MODE

Fast

Relative compute used

A short, straightforward task: a lightweight model is more than enough — and replies faster.

Illustrative gauge, not to scale. In Automatic mode, emi picks for you.

Simple habits

Using AI mindfully every day

Six easy habits that save energy — and usually save you time too.

Use Fast for quick tasks

Rewriting a sentence or proofreading an email? Pick Fast, or let Automatic decide.

Be specific up front

A clear prompt (tone, length, audience) avoids extra back-and-forth rounds.

Refine instead of regenerating

Rather than re-running the whole prompt from scratch, say what you want adjusted.

Save Deep Thinking for big jobs

Reserve it for long contracts or complex multi-step reviews where it truly shines.

One topic per conversation

Switching subjects? Start a fresh chat so the model doesn’t re-read unrelated history.

Keep your Knowledge Base tidy

Remove duplicates and outdated drafts so emi searches less and answers more accurately.
