The EcoLogits library tracks the energy consumption and environmental impacts of generative AI models accessed through APIs and their official client libraries.

It achieves this by patching the Python client libraries, ensuring that each API request is wrapped with an impact calculation function. This function computes the environmental impact based on several request features, such as the chosen model, the number of tokens generated, and the request's latency. The resulting data is then encapsulated in an Impacts object, which is added to the response, containing the environmental impacts for a specific request.

In the following sections we will didactically demonstrate how the library works and how you can integrate it in your own projects. As of today we only support text generation models, but we plan to expand to other modalities (image generation, embeddings for RAG, etc.) in the near future.
