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.

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

Amazon Titan was published by Amazon, in United States of America, in September 2023. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language, Image generation, and is recorded as doing semantic search, Image generation, Language modeling/generation, Code generation, Chat, Text-to-image, Translation.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

What went into building it

Training it took roughly 4.8 × 10²⁴ FLOP of computation, on NVIDIA A100 — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.

The training set ran to roughly 4,000,000,000,000 tokens.

Its inclusion criterion is training cost.

Answers

Amazon Titan — common questions

01

When was Amazon Titan released?

Amazon Titan was published in September 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.

02

What is Amazon Titan used for?

Amazon Titan works in Language, Image generation, and is recorded as handling semantic search, Image generation, Language modeling/generation, Code generation, Chat, Text-to-image, Translation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

03

How much compute was used to train Amazon Titan?

Around 4.8 × 10²⁴ FLOP, on NVIDIA A100. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

04

What GPU do I need to run Amazon Titan?

None. Amazon Titan 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.

05

Is Amazon Titan open source?

No. Amazon Titan has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

06

How many parameters does Amazon Titan have?

Amazon Titan has 200B parameters. 200B dense model https://importai.substack.com/p/import-ai-365-wmd-benchmark-amazon. 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.

07

Who created Amazon Titan?

Amazon Titan was published by Amazon, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
