Closed weights OpenAI September 2023

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

About this model

GPT-4V was published by OpenAI, in United States of America, in September 2023. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Multimodal, Vision, Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling, Visual question answering.

Its starting point was GPT-4 (Mar 2023) — most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

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

How it was trained

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: significant use.

Answers

GPT-4V — common questions

01

How many parameters does GPT-4V have?

No parameter count has been published for GPT-4V, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

02

Who created GPT-4V?

GPT-4V was published by OpenAI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

03

When was GPT-4V released?

GPT-4V 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.

04

What is GPT-4V used for?

GPT-4V works in Multimodal, Vision, Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling, Visual question answering. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

05

What GPU do I need to run GPT-4V?

None. GPT-4V 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

Is GPT-4V open source?

No. GPT-4V has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

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.
