Environmental Impact

Next-level intelligence. Fraction of the footprint.

Traditional AI relies on massive, energy-intensive cloud data centers. Vivral is fundamentally different. By running routine inference on-device on iPhone GPUs, we avoid remote GPU clusters, network hops, and server-farm cooling for everyday questions — cutting energy use by about 96% per query under our model.

Local Inference Architecture

About 96% less energy per query.

A frontier-class cloud query (~3–4T-parameter models) does not only burn GPU time — it pays for multi-GPU serving, data-center cooling (PUE), and network delivery. Our model puts a typical multi-thousand-token exchange at about 4.0 Wh (0.004 kWh) on that path.

Vivral answers on-device on the iPhone GPU / Neural Engine path. The same-size exchange is modeled at about 0.14 Wh (0.00014 kWh) — no remote GPU rack and no long-haul prompt round trip for routine help.

Cloud load vs on-device path

Per exchange of ~3,000 tokens. Bars are proportional to Wh.

0 less energy / query
Cloud frontier (~3–4T class) 4.0 Wh
Vivral on-device (iPhone GPU) 0.14 Wh
Energy avoided per query 3.86 Wh

Zero Server Cooling

Because processing happens on-device, Vivral eliminates the massive water and electricity demands required to cool server farms.

🔋

Optimized for Mobile

Our proprietary medical models are quantized and distilled to run flawlessly on standard hardware without draining your daily battery life.

No Network Waste

Transmitting data over cellular and Wi-Fi networks is a hidden energy cost. Vivral's local approach keeps data—and energy use—grounded.
