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

Background

TAIWAN-LLM 7B was published by National Taiwan University, in the country recorded as Taiwan, during November 2023. The category the publisher falls under is academia.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of chat.

Its starting point was an existing base model, Llama 2-7B. That is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

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

Answers

TAIWAN-LLM 7B — common questions

01

TAIWAN-LLM 7B— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 7B. 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.

02

TAIWAN-LLM 7B— who created it?

It was published by National Taiwan University, based in Taiwan, an organisation categorised as academia.

03

TAIWAN-LLM 7B— when was it released?

It 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.

04

TAIWAN-LLM 7B— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of 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.

05

TAIWAN-LLM 7B— 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.

06

TAIWAN-LLM 7B— is it open source?

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

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.
