What the numbers mean

What this model is

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) was published by EleutherAI, in United States of America, in March 2021. It comes out of research collective.

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

It builds on GPT-Neo-2.7B, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

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

Answers

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) — common questions

01

Is GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) open source?

No. GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) have?

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) has 2.7B parameters. 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 GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned)?

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) was published by EleutherAI, based in United States of America, categorised as research collective.

04

When was GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) released?

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) was published in March 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.

05

What is GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) used for?

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) 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 GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned)?

None. GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned) 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.
