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

Task
Protein generation

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.

Parameters
40M
Training data
tokens

Training sequence data points = 290,000 proteins × 1,024 tokens/protein = 297,160,000 tokens (~2.97×10⁸)

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
1 × 10²⁰ FLOP

1. Hardware setup: 8x NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 32GB GPUs (1.25 x 10^14 FLOP/s per GPU) 2. Training duration: 70 hours (directly provided) = 252,000 seconds 3. Utilization rate: 40% 4. Final calculation: 1.25 x 10^14 FLOP/s/GPU × 8 GPUs × 252,000 seconds × 0.4 = 1.0 x 10^20 FLOPs

What the numbers mean

What this model is

PeTriBERT was published by University of Montpellier,BionomeeX, in the country recorded as France, during August 2022. It comes out of an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as performing the task of protein generation.

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

Training and provenance

Training it took a computation budget of roughly 1 × 10²⁰ FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA Tesla V100 DGXS 32 GB. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

Answers

PeTriBERT — common questions

01

PeTriBERT— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 1 × 10²⁰ FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA Tesla V100 DGXS 32 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.

02

PeTriBERT— 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.

03

PeTriBERT— 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.

04

PeTriBERT— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 40M. 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.

05

PeTriBERT— who created it?

It was published by University of Montpellier,BionomeeX, based in France, an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.

06

PeTriBERT— when was it released?

It was published in August 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.

07

PeTriBERT— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as handling the task of protein generation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
