Closed weights EleutherAI 2.7B parameters March 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

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned on PTB) was published by EleutherAI, in United States of America, in March 2021. research collective is the category the publisher falls under.

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

Its starting point was GPT-Neo-2.7B — most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

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

Answers

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

01

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

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned on PTB) 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.

02

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

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned on PTB) 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.

03

What GPU do I need to run GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned on PTB)?

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

04

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

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

05

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

GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned on PTB) 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.

06

Who created GPT-Neo-2.7B (finetuned on PTB)?

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