Closed weights Ulm University May 2022

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
Task
Protein folding prediction, Protein classification, Protein-ligand binding affinity prediction, Protein structure similarity prediction

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
952,724 tokens

"We collected 476, 362 different protein chains, each composed of at least 25 of amino acids."

The training run

What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.

Wall-clock time
144 hours

What the numbers mean

Background

CRL was published by Ulm University, in the country recorded as Germany, during May 2022.

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as performing the task of protein folding prediction, Protein classification, Protein-ligand binding affinity prediction, Protein structure similarity prediction.

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

How it was trained

Training consumed a corpus of around 952,724 tokens of text.

Answers

CRL — common questions

01

CRL— 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.

02

CRL— 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.

03

CRL— who created it?

It was published by Ulm University, based in Germany.

04

CRL— when was it released?

It was published in May 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.

05

CRL— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Biology, and is recorded as handling the task of protein folding prediction, Protein classification, Protein-ligand binding affinity prediction, Protein structure similarity 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.

06

CRL— 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.

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.
