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
Language
Task
Code 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

RL, so the natural unit is environment steps, see "Table 2: DreamerV3 hyperparameters"

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.

Training compute
2.3 × 10¹⁷ FLOP

3600 * 2 * (91.1 * 10^12) * 0.35 = 2.3e17

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

OMNI-EPIC was published by Imperial College London,University of British Columbia (UBC), in the country recorded as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, during May 2024. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Academia.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of code generation.

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

What went into building it

The training run consumed about 2.3 × 10¹⁷ FLOP. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

Answers

OMNI-EPIC — common questions

01

OMNI-EPIC— who created it?

It was published by Imperial College London,University of British Columbia (UBC), based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, an organisation categorised as academia,Academia.

02

OMNI-EPIC— when was it released?

It was published in May 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

OMNI-EPIC— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of code generation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

04

OMNI-EPIC— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 2.3 × 10¹⁷ FLOP. 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.

05

OMNI-EPIC— 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.

06

OMNI-EPIC— 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.

07

OMNI-EPIC— 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.

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.
