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.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1 was published by National Science and Technology Council, in the country recorded as Taiwan, during April 2024. It comes out of an organisation categorised as government.

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

Its starting point was an existing base model, Llama 3-8B. That is why it shares the base model's general shape and size.

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 set ran to roughly 43,000,000,000 tokens of text.

Answers

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1 — common questions

01

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1— who created it?

It was published by National Science and Technology Council, based in Taiwan, an organisation categorised as government.

02

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1— when was it released?

It was published in April 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

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1— what is it used for?

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

04

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1— 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.

05

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1— 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.

06

Llama 3-TAIDE-LX-8B-Chat-Alpha1— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 8B. 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.

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.
