AlphaProteo

Closed weights Google DeepMind September 2024

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

Background

AlphaProteo was published by Google DeepMind, in United States of America, in September 2024. industry is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein generation, Proteins.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Training and provenance

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is historical significance.

Answers

AlphaProteo — common questions

01

What is AlphaProteo used for?

AlphaProteo works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein generation, Proteins. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

02

What GPU do I need to run AlphaProteo?

None. AlphaProteo is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

03

Is AlphaProteo open source?

No. AlphaProteo has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does AlphaProteo have?

No parameter count has been published for AlphaProteo, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

05

Who created AlphaProteo?

AlphaProteo was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

06

When was AlphaProteo released?

AlphaProteo was published in September 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
