I guess I'd always thought the direct opposite.

Naively, I feel to be useful, the goal of LLMs should be to more power efficient. So that eventually all devices can be smarter.

Power efficiency can be gained through less time-time, or more "intelligence" or some combination of the two. I'm not convinced these SOTA models are doing much more than increasing test-time.

Biggest impacts on power efficiency will be the advances in node size and transistor type like nanosheet or forksheet. Algorithm will help just a little.
