AF2RAVE

Closed weights University of Maryland April 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.

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

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

AF2RAVE was published by University of Maryland, in United States of America, in April 2024. The organisation is categorised as academia.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing drug discovery.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Answers

AF2RAVE — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run AF2RAVE?

None. AF2RAVE 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 AF2RAVE open source?

The licensing for AF2RAVE 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 AF2RAVE have?

No parameter count has been published for AF2RAVE, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

04

Who created AF2RAVE?

AF2RAVE was published by University of Maryland, based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

05

When was AF2RAVE released?

AF2RAVE 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.

06

What is AF2RAVE used for?

AF2RAVE works in Biology, and is recorded as handling drug discovery. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

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.
