No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

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
Biology
Task
Protein representation learning

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

Total Datapoints = Number of Proteins × Average Protein Length 1,000,000 × 300 = 3.0e8 datapoints

Availability

Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

MASSA was published by Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Joint Laboratory of Human-Machine Intelligence-Synergy Systems,Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology,Chinese Academy of Sciences, in the country recorded as China, during May 2023. It comes out of an organisation categorised as research collective,Academia.

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as performing the task of protein representation learning.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded.

Answers

MASSA — common questions

01

MASSA— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as handling the task of protein representation learning. 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.

02

MASSA— where can I download it?

The weights are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

03

MASSA— what GPU do I need to run it?

We cannot say. It has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

04

MASSA— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

05

MASSA— how many parameters does it have?

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

06

MASSA— who created it?

It was published by Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Joint Laboratory of Human-Machine Intelligence-Synergy Systems,Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology,Chinese Academy of Sciences, based in China, an organisation categorised as research collective,Academia.

07

MASSA— when was it released?

It was published in May 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.

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.
