Closed weights Inflection AI June 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 it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Language
Task
Language modeling

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
tokens

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.

Training compute
1 × 10²⁴ FLOP

<= 2.5e24 They define two "compute classes", one for models with more compute than PaLM 540B, i.e. GPT-4 and PaLM 2, and one for models with as much compute or less, i.e. GPT-3.5, Chinchilla, LLaMA, and Inflection-1. PaLM 540B required 2.5e24 FLOP to train (confirmed by Google)

What the numbers mean

Background

Inflection-1 was published by Inflection AI, in United States of America, in June 2023. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

How it was trained

The training run consumed about 1 × 10²⁴ FLOP, on NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB. That figure describes the cost of creating it and has no bearing on how quickly it generates text.

Answers

Inflection-1 — common questions

01

How many parameters does Inflection-1 have?

No parameter count has been published for Inflection-1, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

02

Who created Inflection-1?

Inflection-1 was published by Inflection AI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

03

When was Inflection-1 released?

Inflection-1 was published in June 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.

04

What is Inflection-1 used for?

Inflection-1 works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

05

How much compute was used to train Inflection-1?

Around 1 × 10²⁴ FLOP, on NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB. 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.

06

What GPU do I need to run Inflection-1?

None. Inflection-1 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.

07

Is Inflection-1 open source?

No. Inflection-1 has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

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.
