MuZero VP9

Closed weights DeepMind February 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 the numbers mean

What this model is

MuZero VP9 was published by DeepMind, in the country recorded as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, during February 2022. It comes out of an organisation categorised as industry.

It works in the domain of Video, and is recorded as performing the task of video compression.

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

How it was trained

The training set ran to roughly 2,400,000,000 tokens of text.

Answers

MuZero VP9 — common questions

01

MuZero VP9— is it open source?

No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

MuZero VP9— 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

MuZero VP9— who created it?

It was published by DeepMind, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, an organisation categorised as industry.

04

MuZero VP9— when was it released?

It was published in February 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

MuZero VP9— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Video, and is recorded as handling the task of video compression. 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

MuZero VP9— 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.

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.
