ProtT3
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 the numbers mean
What this model is
ProtT3 was published by National University of Singapore,University of Science and Technology of China (USTC),Hokkaido University, in Singapore, in May 2024. academia,Academia,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein question answering.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
Answers
ProtT3 — common questions
When was ProtT3 released?
ProtT3 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.
What is ProtT3 used for?
ProtT3 works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein question answering. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run ProtT3?
None. ProtT3 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.
Is ProtT3 open source?
The licensing for ProtT3 was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
How many parameters does ProtT3 have?
ProtT3 has 1.6B parameters. Table 12. 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.
Who created ProtT3?
ProtT3 was published by National University of Singapore,University of Science and Technology of China (USTC),Hokkaido University, based in Singapore, categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.
