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.

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.

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.

How it is classified

Labels the source dataset applies when tracking notable models, and how confident it is in the entry.

Why it is tracked
SOTA improvement

"On top of these improvements, the RLSTM outperformed the LSTM by a small margin, and we established a new state of the art on both datasets"

What the numbers mean

Background

Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) was published by DeepMind, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in November 2022. It comes out of industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

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

What went into building it

Training it took roughly 1.4 × 10¹⁷ FLOP of computation — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.

Around 2,666,667 tokens went into training it.

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.

Answers

Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) — common questions

01

What is Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) used for?

Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

02

How much compute was used to train Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2)?

Around 1.4 × 10¹⁷ FLOP. 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.

03

What GPU do I need to run Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2)?

None. Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) 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 Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) open source?

No. Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

05

How many parameters does Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) have?

Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) has 35M parameters. Table 1. 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.

06

Who created Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2)?

Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) was published by DeepMind, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as industry.

07

When was Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) released?

Mogrifier RLSTM (WT2) was published in November 2022. 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.
