bpRNA-align
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
- Biology
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
All structures in a family that fall within a feature pattern were used to determine the MAD of the length of each instance of a feature (e.g., H1, H2, H3, E1, E2, S1, S2, S3), which resulted in a total of 12,857 structures comprising the gap penalty training data set

What the numbers mean
Background
bpRNA-align was published by Oregon State University, in the country recorded as United States of America, during May 2023. The category the publisher falls under is academia.
It works in the domain of Biology.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Answers
bpRNA-align — common questions
bpRNA-align— 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.
bpRNA-align— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Biology. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
bpRNA-align— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This 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.
bpRNA-align— is it open source?
The licensing was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
bpRNA-align— 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.
bpRNA-align— who created it?
It was published by Oregon State University, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia.
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.
