 - **A lightweight, easy to use Python library** – Simple API to track emissions
 - **Open source, free & community driven** – Built by and for the community
 - **Effective visual outputs** – Put emissions in context with real-world equivalents
 
 > **Tracking GenAI API calls?** CodeCarbon measures emissions from **local computing** (your hardware). To track emissions from remote GenAI API calls (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.), use [**EcoLogits**](https://ecologits.ai/). Both tools are complementary.
