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.

Answers

BindDM — common questions

01

What is BindDM used for?

BindDM works in Biology, and is recorded as handling drug discovery, Protein-ligand contact prediction, Protein-ligand binding affinity prediction. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

02

What GPU do I need to run BindDM?

None. BindDM 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.

03

Is BindDM open source?

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

04

How many parameters does BindDM have?

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

05

Who created BindDM?

BindDM was published by Peng Cheng Laboratory,Peking University,University of Science and Technology of China (USTC),ByteDance,Tsinghua University, based in China, categorised as academia,Academia,Academia,Industry,Academia.

06

When was BindDM released?

BindDM was published in March 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.
