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.

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
10,000 tokens

"we collected 4696 associations 412 between 4696 viruses and 498 prokaryotic hosts at the species level; 9595 positive 413 associations from 9595 viruses and 1665 eukaryotic hosts at the species level. "

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

EvoMIL was published by University of Glasgow,Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in April 2023. It comes out of academia.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing virus-host association prediction.

Its starting point was ESM1b — most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

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

Training and provenance

The training set ran to roughly 10,000 tokens.

Answers

EvoMIL — common questions

01

When was EvoMIL released?

EvoMIL 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.

02

What is EvoMIL used for?

EvoMIL works in Biology, and is recorded as handling virus-host association prediction. 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.

03

What GPU do I need to run EvoMIL?

None. EvoMIL 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.

04

Is EvoMIL open source?

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

05

How many parameters does EvoMIL have?

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

06

Who created EvoMIL?

EvoMIL was published by University of Glasgow,Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as academia.

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.
