Robot Parkour
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.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean
Where it came from
Robot Parkour was published by Shanghai Qi Zhi institute,Stanford University,Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),Tsinghua University, in China, in September 2023. academia,Academia,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Robotics, and is recorded as doing animal (human/non-human) imitation.
Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
How it was trained
The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement.
Answers
Robot Parkour — common questions
Is Robot Parkour open source?
No. Robot Parkour has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Robot Parkour have?
Robot Parkour has 500K parameters. Parkour policy details on page 8, table 11. 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.
Who created Robot Parkour?
Robot Parkour was published by Shanghai Qi Zhi institute,Stanford University,Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),Tsinghua University, based in China, categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.
When was Robot Parkour released?
Robot Parkour 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.
What is Robot Parkour used for?
Robot Parkour works in Robotics, and is recorded as handling animal (human/non-human) imitation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
What GPU do I need to run Robot Parkour?
None. Robot Parkour 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.
The other direction
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.
