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

PrePR-CT was published by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST),Karolinska Institute, in the country recorded as Saudi Arabia, during July 2024. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Academia.

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

Rather than being trained from scratch, it is derived from ChemBERTa. That is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Answers

PrePR-CT — common questions

01

PrePR-CT— who created it?

It was published by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST),Karolinska Institute, based in Saudi Arabia, an organisation categorised as academia,Academia.

02

PrePR-CT— when was it released?

It was published in July 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.

03

PrePR-CT— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as handling the task of transcriptomic prediction. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

04

PrePR-CT— 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.

05

PrePR-CT— 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.

06

PrePR-CT— 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.

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.
