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.

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
tokens

Data for DrugCLIP: Pretraining: 5.5 × 10^6 (pseudo-pocket and ligand pairs) Fine-tuning: 4.0 × 10^4 (experimental complexes) Total 5,540,000 datapoints Assuming 300 tokens per protein-ligand pair: 5540000*300=1662000000

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

DrugCLIP was published by Tsinghua University,Tsinghua-Peiking Center for Life Sciences,Peking University,Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence / BAAI, in China, in September 2024. It comes out of academia,Research collective,Academia,Academia.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing molecular screening, Drug discovery.

It builds on Uni-Mol Molecular Model, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Answers

DrugCLIP — common questions

01

When was DrugCLIP released?

DrugCLIP 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.

02

What is DrugCLIP used for?

DrugCLIP works in Biology, and is recorded as handling molecular screening, Drug discovery. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

03

What GPU do I need to run DrugCLIP?

None. DrugCLIP 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.

04

Is DrugCLIP open source?

The licensing for DrugCLIP was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

05

How many parameters does DrugCLIP have?

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

06

Who created DrugCLIP?

DrugCLIP was published by Tsinghua University,Tsinghua-Peiking Center for Life Sciences,Peking University,Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence / BAAI, based in China, categorised as academia,Research collective,Academia,Academia.
