Closed weights Baidu July 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.

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

HelixProtX was published by Baidu, in China, in July 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry.

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

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

Training and provenance

Around 1,330,310,800 tokens went into training it.

Answers

HelixProtX — common questions

01

Who created HelixProtX?

HelixProtX was published by Baidu, based in China, categorised as industry.

02

When was HelixProtX released?

HelixProtX 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

What is HelixProtX used for?

HelixProtX works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein 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.

04

What GPU do I need to run HelixProtX?

None. HelixProtX 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

Is HelixProtX open source?

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

06

How many parameters does HelixProtX have?

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