UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)
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
- Image generation
- Task
- Text-to-image, Image captioning, Image generation, Image-to-image
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
"The training is multiple-staged following Stable Diffusion (Rombach et al., 2022). In the first stage, we train 250K steps at 256×256 resolution on laion2B-en with a batch size of 11264 and 5K warm-up steps. In the second stage, we fine-tune the model with 200K steps at 512×512 resolution on laion-high-resolution with a batch size of 2112 and 5K warm-up steps. In the last stage, we resume from the last checkpoint of the second stage (including both weights of the model and states of the optimiz…
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
- 2 × 10²² FLOP
- How it was established
- Hardware
312000000000000 FLOP/GPU/sec * 672 hours * 3600 sec / hour * 88 GPUs * 0.3 [assumed utilization] = 1.992646656e+22 FLOP
The training run
What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.
- Training hardware
- NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB
- Chips used
- 88
- Wall-clock time
- 672 hours (28 days)
- Power draw
- 70.1 kW
"The training takes around 28 days on 88 A100 (80GB) GPUs" 28 days = 672 hours

What the numbers mean
Where it came from
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型) was published by ShengShu,Tsinghua University,Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence / BAAI, in the country recorded as China, during May 2023. The category the publisher falls under is industry,Academia,Academia.
It works in the domain of Image generation, and is recorded as performing the task of text-to-image, Image captioning, Image generation, Image-to-image.
The weights being open is what puts this page in the calculator rather than only in the catalogue: it is a model you can actually hold. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation thu-ml.
Training and provenance
The training run consumed about 2 × 10²² FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.
Answers
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型) — common questions
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— 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.
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— 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.
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— 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.
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— who created it?
It was published by ShengShu,Tsinghua University,Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence / BAAI, based in China, an organisation categorised as industry,Academia,Academia.
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— 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.
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Image generation, and is recorded as handling the task of text-to-image, Image captioning, Image generation, Image-to-image. 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.
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— where can I download it?
Its weights are published on Hugging Face, under the organisation thu-ml. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.
UniDiffuser (多模态大模型)— how much compute was used to train it?
Training consumed around 2 × 10²² FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB. 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.
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.
