Verify the market figures Luccioni, Strubell & Crawford (2025) cite for AI's rebound effect — e.g. ≈3.7M GPUs shipped in 2024 — against primary sources

claim-jevons-paradox-invoked-in-ai-energy-debate-luccioni-2025 is Tier-1 for its core invocation (verbatim quote preserved), but the paper's supporting market figures — notably that NVIDIA shipped on the order of ≈3.7M GPUs in 2024 despite per-unit efficiency gains, and the general claim that AI's rebound effect can exceed 100% — are the paper's own downstream citations, not independently sourced numbers.

What to read / pull:

• The relevant section of arXiv:2501.16548 and the specific citation it gives for the GPU-shipment figure (trace it to the market-research primary, e.g. the quoted analyst report).
• NVIDIA data-center shipment/revenue disclosures or a reputable market tracker for 2024 GPU volumes.
• The rebound-effect economics literature for whether >100% rebound is empirically established or a bounding argument.

What it gates: clearing the [unverified-quant] flag on the note's illustrative figure. The core claim (that the paper invokes the Jevons paradox) is already Tier-1 verified and does not depend on this.
