Anthropic LM 52B

Closed weights Anthropic 52B parameters April 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.

What the numbers mean

About this model

Anthropic LM 52B was published by Anthropic, in United States of America, in April 2023. industry is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Question answering.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Answers

Anthropic LM 52B — common questions

01

Is Anthropic LM 52B open source?

No. Anthropic LM 52B has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does Anthropic LM 52B have?

Anthropic LM 52B has 52B parameters. 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.

03

Who created Anthropic LM 52B?

Anthropic LM 52B was published by Anthropic, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

04

When was Anthropic LM 52B released?

Anthropic LM 52B was published in April 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.

05

What is Anthropic LM 52B used for?

Anthropic LM 52B works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

06

What GPU do I need to run Anthropic LM 52B?

None. Anthropic LM 52B 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.
