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.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

TAIWAN-LLM 13B was published by National Taiwan University, in Taiwan, in November 2023. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing chat.

It builds on Llama 2-13B, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Answers

TAIWAN-LLM 13B — common questions

01

Is TAIWAN-LLM 13B open source?

The licensing for TAIWAN-LLM 13B 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 TAIWAN-LLM 13B have?

TAIWAN-LLM 13B has 13B 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 TAIWAN-LLM 13B?

TAIWAN-LLM 13B was published by National Taiwan University, based in Taiwan, categorised as academia.

04

When was TAIWAN-LLM 13B released?

TAIWAN-LLM 13B was published in November 2023. 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 is TAIWAN-LLM 13B used for?

TAIWAN-LLM 13B works in Language, and is recorded as handling chat. 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.

06

What GPU do I need to run TAIWAN-LLM 13B?

None. TAIWAN-LLM 13B 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.
