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.

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

What the numbers mean

What this model is

GELU for CIFAR-10 was published by University of California (UC) Berkeley,Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, in United States of America, in June 2023. It comes out of academia,Academia.

It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing image classification.

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

What went into building it

Producing it required around 7.4 × 10¹¹ FLOP of arithmetic, on NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.

Around 50,000 tokens went into training it.

Answers

GELU for CIFAR-10 — common questions

01

How many parameters does GELU for CIFAR-10 have?

GELU for CIFAR-10 has 9.9K parameters. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rnsk2ysbAra1UfQWD9TFDki-0T9OmKqBdd7fw6O7QWE/edit?usp=sharing. 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.

02

Who created GELU for CIFAR-10?

GELU for CIFAR-10 was published by University of California (UC) Berkeley,Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, based in United States of America, categorised as academia,Academia.

03

When was GELU for CIFAR-10 released?

GELU for CIFAR-10 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 GELU for CIFAR-10 used for?

GELU for CIFAR-10 works in Vision, and is recorded as handling image classification. 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 GELU for CIFAR-10?

Around 7.4 × 10¹¹ FLOP, on NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X. 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 GELU for CIFAR-10?

None. GELU for CIFAR-10 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 GELU for CIFAR-10 open source?

The licensing for GELU for CIFAR-10 was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

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.
