CALM

Closed weights NVIDIA,Technion - Israel Institute of Technology 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.

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

What this model is

CALM was published by NVIDIA,Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, in United States of America, in August 2023. The organisation is categorised as industry,Academia.

It works in Robotics, and is recorded as doing animal (human/non-human) imitation.

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

Answers

CALM — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run CALM?

None. CALM 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 CALM open source?

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

03

How many parameters does CALM have?

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

04

Who created CALM?

CALM was published by NVIDIA,Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Academia.

05

When was CALM released?

CALM 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 CALM used for?

CALM works in Robotics, and is recorded as handling animal (human/non-human) imitation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

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.
