Efficiency and Sustainability Report · FY2026 YTD · Simulated
We made every rebuild 38.1% more efficient. Then we rebuilt everything.
This report measures the computation Syntax Energy wasted, the energy it took, and the initiatives that made each unit of waste cheaper. Year-to-date figures cover 3 quarters and tie to the published quarterly results.
Energy per rebuild
-38.1%
The number we lead with.
Total build energy
+50.5%
The number we put on page 41.

Energy per rebuild (kWh)
Efficiency, as presented to the board
Total build energy (kWh)
Consumption, as experienced by the planet
Economists call this the rebound effect. Our engineers call it being able to rebuild just to check. Separate charts, because putting them on the same axis would be honest in a way the board found unhelpful.
| Metric | FY2025 | FY2026 YTD | Change | Management commentary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy per rebuild | 2.1 kWh | 1.3 kWh | -38.1% | Our headline efficiency achievement. Please read this one first. |
| Total rebuilds | 118,400 | 287,900 | +143.2% | Cheaper rebuilds unlocked latent demand for rebuilding. |
| Total build energy | 248,640 kWh | 374,270 kWh | +50.5% | A natural consequence of efficiency, according to an economist we did not ask. |
| Avoidable energy wasted | 176,534 kWh | 314,387 kWh | +78.1% | Now our largest renewable resource. |
| AI tokens spent on typos | 820M | 6,400M | +680.5% | Tokens per typo fell 29%. Typos per day, sadly, did not. |
| Failed deployments | 312 | 1,048 | +235.9% | Each one a learning opportunity. We have learned a great deal. |
| Retries per flaky test | 1.4 | 3.9 | +178.6% | Persistence is a core value. |
Commitments
Targets we intend to approach.
- 01
Net zero rebuilds by 2040
We will offset every unnecessary rebuild with a necessary one, if we can find one. Interim target: identify a necessary rebuild by 2031.
- 02
Typo neutrality
All AI typo corrections will be paired with a human typo, introduced manually, to keep the ecosystem in balance.
- 03
Renewable failure
Failed deployments will be rerun until they succeed or the quarter ends, whichever is cheaper to report.
Your own codebase has a footprint too. File a bill and see how much computation it wasted this month.
File a syntax billSimulated corporate data. Syntax Energy Co. is satire. No figure here is real financial information.
