The true energy bottleneck in edge VLM inference is not what the model sees (visual input), but how much it says (output length).
Synthesis of profiling results: power invariance, much higher per-token cost for outputs, and large energy variation driven by output length across models and images.
high positive Seeing is Free, Speaking is Not: Uncovering the True Energy ... primary determinant of inference energy usage
The variation in energy with image complexity arises not from increased visual processing cost, but from differences in output length.
Analysis linking image complexity to longer model outputs (more output tokens) and showing power invariance; hence increased energy follows increased decode time/output token count rather than increased per-token visual processing power.
high positive Seeing is Free, Speaking is Not: Uncovering the True Energy ... cause of energy variation (output length vs visual processing cost)
Image complexity, measured by the number of objects in an image, induces up to 4.1x energy differences at identical resolution.
Profiling across images varying in object count at the same spatial resolution; reported energy differences up to 4.1× correlated with image complexity.
high positive Seeing is Free, Speaking is Not: Uncovering the True Energy ... inference energy consumption
Each output token costs 11 to 39x more wall-clock time than each input token due to the compute-bound and memory-bound asymmetry between prefill and decode, making output token count the dominant driver of both latency and energy.
Measurement of per-token wall-clock time for prefill (input tokens) vs. decode (output tokens) across the profiled models and hardware platforms; observed ratios reported as 11–39×.
high positive Seeing is Free, Speaking is Not: Uncovering the True Energy ... wall-clock time per token (latency)
All energy variation across inputs must arise from variation in inference time, not from variation in power draw.
Inference power shown to be invariant (<5% variation) across inputs in the same profiling study, implying energy differences (energy = power × time) are due to time differences rather than power differences.
high positive Seeing is Free, Speaking is Not: Uncovering the True Energy ... inference time (wall-clock time)
