Answers
babbage-002 — common questions
When was babbage-002 released?
babbage-002 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.
What is babbage-002 used for?
babbage-002 works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.
What GPU do I need to run babbage-002?
None. babbage-002 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 babbage-002 open source?
