NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ)

Closed weights University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC),NVIDIA November 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.

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

Background

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ) was published by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC),NVIDIA, in the country recorded as United States of America, during November 2021. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Industry.

It works in the domain of Image generation, and is recorded as performing the task of image generation.

Its starting point was an existing base model, NVAE (Celeba HQ). That is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

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

Answers

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ) — common questions

01

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ)— 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.

02

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ)— is it open source?

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

03

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ)— 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.

04

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ)— who created it?

It was published by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC),NVIDIA, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.

05

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ)— when was it released?

It was published in November 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.

06

NCP-VAE (Celeba HQ)— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Image generation, and is recorded as handling the task of image generation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

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.
