Closed weights University of Missouri August 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

About this model

TransFew was published by University of Missouri, in the country recorded as United States of America, during August 2024. The publishing organisation is categorised as academia.

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as performing the task of protein function prediction.

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

Answers

TransFew — common questions

01

TransFew— is it open source?

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

02

TransFew— how many parameters does it have?

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

03

TransFew— who created it?

It was published by University of Missouri, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia.

04

TransFew— when was it released?

It was published in August 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.

05

TransFew— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as handling the task of protein function prediction. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

06

TransFew— what GPU do I need to run it?

None. This 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.

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.
