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.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

DLRM-2022 was published by Facebook, in United States of America, in September 2021. It comes out of industry.

It works in Recommendation, and is recorded as doing recommender system.

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

Producing it required around 1.1 × 10²¹ FLOP of arithmetic, on NVIDIA Tesla V100 DGXS 32 GB,NVIDIA A100, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.

Answers

DLRM-2022 — common questions

01

When was DLRM-2022 released?

DLRM-2022 was published in September 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.

02

What is DLRM-2022 used for?

DLRM-2022 works in Recommendation, and is recorded as handling recommender system. 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.

03

How much compute was used to train DLRM-2022?

Around 1.1 × 10²¹ FLOP, on NVIDIA Tesla V100 DGXS 32 GB,NVIDIA A100. 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.

04

What GPU do I need to run DLRM-2022?

None. DLRM-2022 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.

05

Is DLRM-2022 open source?

No. DLRM-2022 has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

06

How many parameters does DLRM-2022 have?

DLRM-2022 has 3T parameters. Figure 1 https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.05158. 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.

07

Who created DLRM-2022?

DLRM-2022 was published by Facebook, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

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.
