Jae-Won Chung, 30, a University of Michigan PhD student, made this year's MIT Technology Review 35 Innovators Under 35 for making energy a first-class computing resource in ML systems. His open-source tool Zeus measures energy use across heterogeneous server clusters in one interface and suggests optimizations—e.g., slightly slowing model responses can yield large energy savings. With AI-driven power demand straining US grids, cross-layer efficiency is becoming central to AI infrastructure.
