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.
- Parameters
- 250B
- Training data
- 7,000,000,000,000 tokens
"It has 250 billion parameters that are adjustable during training to generate outputs or make predictions."
Training compute
The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.
- Training compute
- 1 × 10²⁵ FLOP

- Operation counting
6*250B*7T=1.05e+25

What the numbers mean
Background
Aramco Metabrain AI was published by Saudi Aramco, in the country recorded as Saudi Arabia, during March 2024. It comes out of an organisation categorised as industry,Government.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling/generation.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Training and provenance
The training run consumed about 1 × 10²⁵ FLOP. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.
Training consumed a corpus of around 7,000,000,000,000 tokens of text.
It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: training cost.
Answers
Aramco Metabrain AI — common questions
Aramco Metabrain AI— when was it released?
It 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.
Aramco Metabrain AI— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
Aramco Metabrain AI— how much compute was used to train it?
Training consumed around 1 × 10²⁵ FLOP. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.
Aramco Metabrain AI— 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.
Aramco Metabrain AI— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
Aramco Metabrain AI— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 250B. "It has 250 billion parameters that are adjustable during training to generate outputs or make predictions.". 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.
Aramco Metabrain AI— who created it?
It was published by Saudi Aramco, based in Saudi Arabia, an organisation categorised as industry,Government.
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.
