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

abab6.5 was published by MiniMax, in China, in April 2024. industry is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation.

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

Answers

abab6.5 — common questions

01

How many parameters does abab6.5 have?

abab6.5 has 1T 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.

02

Who created abab6.5?

abab6.5 was published by MiniMax, based in China, categorised as industry.

03

When was abab6.5 released?

abab6.5 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.

04

What is abab6.5 used for?

abab6.5 works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

05

What GPU do I need to run abab6.5?

None. abab6.5 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

Is abab6.5 open source?

No. abab6.5 has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

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.
