Green AI emphasizes the development of machine learning models that are energy-efficient, requiring fewer computational resources while maintaining high performance. This paper explores how lightweight machine learning models, implemented with Python, can contribute to Green AI practices. We review several approaches for designing compact models, including model pruning, knowledge distillation, and efficient architectures such as decision trees, linear models, and lightweight neural networks. By adopting these techniques, organizations can reduce the carbon footprint of AI systems without compromising accuracy. Through practical examples, we demonstrate how Python libraries and tools can facilitate the creation of lightweight models in an energy-efficient manner.  \nKEYWORDS: Green AI, Lightweight Models, Energy-Efficient Machine Learning, Python for AI, Model Pruning, Knowledge Distillation, Efficient Neural Networks, Sustainability in AI, Energy Consumption Optimization  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nMachine learning (ML) has made tremendous advancements over the last decade, leading to significant breakthroughsin natural language processing, computer vision, and other fields. However, the rapid increase in the size and complexity of machine learning models has raised concerns about the environmental impact of training these models. Large models, especially deep learning architectures, consume substantial computational resources, contributing to high energy consumption and a large carbon footprint.  \nIn response to these concerns, the concept of Green AI has emerged. Green AI focuses on developing sustainable, energy-efficient models without sacrificing performance. One key strategy for achieving this goal is the use of lightweight machine learning models, which are simpler, smaller in size, and less computationally demanding. This paper aims to explore how lightweight models can be effectively built using Python and popular libraries, contributing to the Green AI movement.  \nII. LITERATURE REVIEW  \nThe need for energy-efficient AI models has been widely recognized in recent research. Studies have shown that largescale models, such as deep neural networks, require enormous computational power and energy to train, often leading to significant environmental impact (Strubell et al., 2019) . As a result, various approaches have been proposed to address this issue.  \n• Model Pruning: Pruning involves removing unnecessary parameters from a model, making it lighter and faster while retaining its performance. Research by Han et al. (2015) demonstrated that pruning deep neural networks could reduce model size and computational complexity without significantly impacting accuracy.  \n• Knowledge Distillation: In knowledge distillation, a smaller model (student) is trained to mimic the behavior of a larger, pre-trained model (teacher) . This approach has been shown to reduce the computational requirements of deploying models while maintaining performance (Hinton et al., 2015) .  \n• Efficient Neural Network Architectures: Many lightweight architectures, such as MobileNet, EfficientNet, and SqueezeNet, have been designed specifically for deployment on mobile devices or in resource-constrained environments (Howard et al., 2","cbCaitqfnSIT1r0e","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitqfnSIT1r0e","pdf",311718,1,5,"English","en",105,"# I.
