NEC LLM 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.

What the numbers mean
About this model
NEC LLM 13B was published by NEC Laboratories, in United States of America, in July 2023. It comes out of industry.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Chat.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Answers
NEC LLM 13B — common questions
What GPU do I need to run NEC LLM 13B?
None. NEC LLM 13B 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.
Is NEC LLM 13B open source?
The licensing for NEC LLM 13B was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
How many parameters does NEC LLM 13B have?
NEC LLM 13B has 13B parameters. 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.
Who created NEC LLM 13B?
NEC LLM 13B was published by NEC Laboratories, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was NEC LLM 13B released?
NEC LLM 13B was published in July 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 NEC LLM 13B used for?
NEC LLM 13B works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Chat. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
