YuLan-Chat-2 (13B)
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
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B) was published by Renmin University of China, in the country recorded as China, during August 2023. The category the publisher falls under is academia.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of chat.
It builds on LLaMA-13B. That is why it shares the base model's general shape and size.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Answers
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B) — common questions
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B)— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 13B. 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.
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B)— who created it?
It was published by Renmin University of China, based in China, an organisation categorised as academia.
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B)— when was it released?
It 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.
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B)— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of chat. 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.
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B)— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This 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.
YuLan-Chat-2 (13B)— is it open source?
The licensing was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
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.
