Overall, when tested on 40 prompts, DeepSeek was found to have a similar energy efficiency to the Meta model, but DeepSeek tended to generate much longer responses and therefore was found to use 87% more energy.

More detailed and accurate reply is preferred, but length isn’t a quantifier for that. If anything that’s the problem with most LLMs, they tend to ramble a bit more than they need to, and it’s hard (at least with just prompting) to rein that in to narrow the answer to just the answer.
