In a 24-hour hackathon hosted by Crusoe Energy and Lowercarbon Capital, developers demonstrated the remarkable speed at which AI can tackle longstanding challenges in the clean energy sector. The event, held in San Francisco on June 28-29, 2024, showcased how AI tools can compress months or years of traditional work into mere hours, potentially revolutionizing clean energy deployment.The winning team, Verdigris, exemplified this swift transformation by developing an AI system that addresses key barriers in home electrification. Their tool analyzes mortgage data to identify qualified homeowners for zero-cost upgrades and generates personalized marketing materials, including AI-created images of homes with proposed improvements. This level of personalization and automation could significantly accelerate the adoption of home energy upgrades.Team Verdigris’ winning moment    Credit: Crusoe Verdigris’s system integrates with bank databases to access mortgage information, income data and property details

In a recent collaboration, AI startup Gradient and cloud compute platform Crusoe extended the “context window” of Llama-3 models to 1 million tokens. The context window determines the number of input and output tokens a large language model (LLM) can process. Big tech companies and frontier AI labs are locked in a race to extend the context windows of their LLMs. In a few months, models have gone from supporting a few thousand tokens to more than a million in less than a year
