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.

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

Background

RT-1 + AutoRT was published by Google DeepMind, in United States of America, in January 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Robotics, and is recorded as doing robotic manipulation.

It builds on RT-1, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

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

What went into building it

Around 207,000 tokens went into training it.

Answers

RT-1 + AutoRT — common questions

01

What is RT-1 + AutoRT used for?

RT-1 + AutoRT works in Robotics, and is recorded as handling robotic manipulation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

02

What GPU do I need to run RT-1 + AutoRT?

None. RT-1 + AutoRT 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 RT-1 + AutoRT open source?

No. RT-1 + AutoRT has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does RT-1 + AutoRT have?

RT-1 + AutoRT has 35M parameters. from RT-1. 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.

05

Who created RT-1 + AutoRT?

RT-1 + AutoRT was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

06

When was RT-1 + AutoRT released?

RT-1 + AutoRT was published in January 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.
