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
Language
Task
Language modeling/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
124M

124M (Table 2) "We set the hidden size to 512 and the number of layers to 16 for all models."

Training data
103,000,000 tokens

"We set the lengths of text segment N, extended context M, and the relational memory P to (512, 512, 300), (384, 384, 800) and (768, 1536, 400) for WikiText-103, WMT19 and enwik8, respectively" -> sequence length - 512 tokens batch size 128 assuming 200000 steps (could be more): 200000*128*512 / 103000000 = 127 epochs no information about steps or epochs

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.

The training run

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

What the numbers mean

What this model is

Transformer-XL + RelationLM was published by DeepMind,University of Oxford, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in January 2022. The organisation is categorised as industry,Academia.

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

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

The training set ran to roughly 103,000,000 tokens.

Answers

Transformer-XL + RelationLM — common questions

01

Is Transformer-XL + RelationLM open source?

No. Transformer-XL + RelationLM has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does Transformer-XL + RelationLM have?

Transformer-XL + RelationLM has 124M parameters. 124M (Table 2) "We set the hidden size to 512 and the number of layers to 16 for all models.". 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.

03

Who created Transformer-XL + RelationLM?

Transformer-XL + RelationLM was published by DeepMind,University of Oxford, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as industry,Academia.

04

When was Transformer-XL + RelationLM released?

Transformer-XL + RelationLM was published in January 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

What is Transformer-XL + RelationLM used for?

Transformer-XL + RelationLM works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

What GPU do I need to run Transformer-XL + RelationLM?

None. Transformer-XL + RelationLM 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.
