Transformer Large + HCP
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.

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.

- Operation counting
80k steps (Table 1) "The input lengths are 150 for the base model and 384 for the large model." "large model: 18 layers, 16 heads, hidden size 1024 batch size 128" 6 FLOP / token / parameter * 257000000 parameters * 384 tokens per sequence * 128 sequences per batch * 80000 steps = 6.06339072 × 10^18 FLOP

What the numbers mean
What this model is
Transformer Large + HCP was published by University of Waterloo,Microsoft Research, in the country recorded as Canada, during March 2022. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Industry.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
How it was trained
The training run consumed about 6.1 × 10¹⁸ FLOP. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.
The training set ran to roughly 103,000,000 tokens of text.
Answers
Transformer Large + HCP — common questions
Transformer Large + HCP— how much compute was used to train it?
Training consumed around 6.1 × 10¹⁸ 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.
Transformer Large + HCP— 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.
Transformer Large + HCP— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
Transformer Large + HCP— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 257M. 257M. 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.
Transformer Large + HCP— who created it?
It was published by University of Waterloo,Microsoft Research, based in Canada, an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.
Transformer Large + HCP— when was it released?
It was published in March 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.
Transformer Large + HCP— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling. 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.
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.
