VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning

Closed weights NCSOFT 7B parameters August 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.

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

VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning was published by NCSOFT, in Korea (Republic of), in August 2023. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Chat, Text summarization, Translation, Question answering.

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

How it was trained

Training it took roughly 6.7 × 10²² FLOP of computation — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.

Around 1,600,000,000,000 tokens went into training it.

Answers

VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning?

None. VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning 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.

02

Is VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning open source?

No. VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

03

How many parameters does VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning have?

VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning has 7B 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.

04

Who created VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning?

VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning was published by NCSOFT, based in Korea (Republic of), categorised as industry.

05

When was VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning released?

VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning was published in August 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.

06

What is VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning used for?

VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Chat, Text summarization, Translation, Question answering. 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.

07

How much compute was used to train VARCO LLM 2.0 small Finetuning?

Around 6.7 × 10²² FLOP. 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.

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.
