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.

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

Where it came from

EPInformer was published by The University of Hong Kong,Harvard Medical School, in Hong Kong, in August 2024. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing gene expression profile generation.

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

Training and provenance

Producing it required around 3.4 × 10¹⁷ FLOP of arithmetic, on NVIDIA A100, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.

Answers

EPInformer — common questions

01

How many parameters does EPInformer have?

EPInformer has 447.1K parameters. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

02

Who created EPInformer?

EPInformer was published by The University of Hong Kong,Harvard Medical School, based in Hong Kong, categorised as academia,Academia.

03

When was EPInformer released?

EPInformer 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.

04

What is EPInformer used for?

EPInformer works in Biology, and is recorded as handling gene expression profile generation. 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.

05

How much compute was used to train EPInformer?

Around 3.4 × 10¹⁷ FLOP, on NVIDIA A100. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

06

What GPU do I need to run EPInformer?

None. EPInformer 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.

07

Is EPInformer open source?

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

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.
