Answers

StableLM-2-12B — common questions

01

Is StableLM-2-12B open source?

The licensing for StableLM-2-12B was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

02

How many parameters does StableLM-2-12B have?

StableLM-2-12B has 12.1B 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.

03

Who created StableLM-2-12B?

StableLM-2-12B was published by Stability AI, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as industry.

04

When was StableLM-2-12B released?

StableLM-2-12B was published in February 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.

05

What GPU do I need to run StableLM-2-12B?

None. StableLM-2-12B 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.
