PocketVec
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 the numbers mean
About this model
PocketVec was published by Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology,Universitat de Barcelona,Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA), in Spain, in March 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
PocketVec — common questions
When was PocketVec released?
PocketVec 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.
What is PocketVec used for?
PocketVec works in Biology, and is recorded as handling drug discovery. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run PocketVec?
None. PocketVec 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.
Is PocketVec open source?
No. PocketVec has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does PocketVec have?
No parameter count has been published for PocketVec, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created PocketVec?
PocketVec was published by Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology,Universitat de Barcelona,Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA), based in Spain, categorised as academia.
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.
