T-NLRv5 XXL

Closed weights Microsoft 5.4B parameters December 2021

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.

What the numbers mean

Background

T-NLRv5 XXL was published by Microsoft, in United States of America, in December 2021. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

How it was trained

Its inclusion criterion is sOTA improvement.

Answers

T-NLRv5 XXL — common questions

01

How many parameters does T-NLRv5 XXL have?

T-NLRv5 XXL has 5.4B parameters. Table 1 of the blogpost. 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.

02

Who created T-NLRv5 XXL?

T-NLRv5 XXL was published by Microsoft, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

03

When was T-NLRv5 XXL released?

T-NLRv5 XXL was published in December 2021. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

04

What is T-NLRv5 XXL used for?

T-NLRv5 XXL works in Language. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

05

What GPU do I need to run T-NLRv5 XXL?

None. T-NLRv5 XXL 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.

06

Is T-NLRv5 XXL open source?

No. T-NLRv5 XXL has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

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.
