xLSTM 1.4B

Closed weights Johannes Kepler University Linz 1.4B parameters May 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

Domain
Language

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.

"We therefore increase the amount of training data and train on 300B tokens from SlimPajama. "

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
2.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP

"We developed and trained all our models and baselines over the course of three months on a cluster with 128 nodes of eight NVIDIA A100 GPUs each." 1024 6*300000000*1422600000=2.56068e+18

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

xLSTM 1.4B was published by Johannes Kepler University Linz, in Austria, in May 2024. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language.

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 2.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on NVIDIA A100. That figure describes the cost of creating it and has no bearing on how quickly it generates text.

Answers

xLSTM 1.4B — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run xLSTM 1.4B?

None. xLSTM 1.4B 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 xLSTM 1.4B open source?

The licensing for xLSTM 1.4B 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 xLSTM 1.4B have?

xLSTM 1.4B has 1.4B parameters. 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.

04

Who created xLSTM 1.4B?

xLSTM 1.4B was published by Johannes Kepler University Linz, based in Austria, categorised as academia.

05

When was xLSTM 1.4B released?

xLSTM 1.4B 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.

06

What is xLSTM 1.4B used for?

xLSTM 1.4B works in Language. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

07

How much compute was used to train xLSTM 1.4B?

Around 2.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on NVIDIA A100. 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.
