Audioseal

Closed weights Facebook AI Research June 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 it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Audio, Speech
Task
Audio classification, Audio generation

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

4,500 hours * 13,680 English words per hour = 61560000 words

Availability

Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

Audioseal was published by Facebook AI Research, in United States of America, in June 2024. It comes out of industry.

It works in Audio, Speech, and is recorded as doing audio classification, Audio generation.

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

Answers

Audioseal — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run Audioseal?

None. Audioseal 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.

02

Is Audioseal open source?

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

03

How many parameters does Audioseal have?

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

04

Who created Audioseal?

Audioseal was published by Facebook AI Research, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

05

When was Audioseal released?

Audioseal was published in June 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.

06

What is Audioseal used for?

Audioseal works in Audio, Speech, and is recorded as handling audio classification, Audio generation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

The other direction

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.
