Theo Browne criticizes Claude.ai’s apparent idle resource usage. He reports that each empty tab uses about 10% of the GPU on his $8,000 laptop; the short clip does not establish a cause or whether the result generalizes.

A complaint about idle resource use

Theo describes a GPU-use figure he observed with Claude.ai tabs. He criticizes the apparent cost of leaving an empty page open.

I think Anthropic needs better engineering here: an empty, idle Claude.ai page uses about 10% of the GPU on my $8,000 laptop for each open tab. That is my observation on my setup; this short clip does not establish the cause or whether the same result occurs on other devices and browsers.
