CryoDRGN
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
CryoDRGN was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in United States of America, in February 2021. The organisation is categorised as academia.
It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing cryo-EM image reconstruction.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Answers
CryoDRGN — common questions
What is CryoDRGN used for?
CryoDRGN works in Biology, and is recorded as handling cryo-EM image reconstruction. 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.
What GPU do I need to run CryoDRGN?
None. CryoDRGN 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.
Is CryoDRGN open source?
No. CryoDRGN has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does CryoDRGN have?
No parameter count has been published for CryoDRGN, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created CryoDRGN?
CryoDRGN was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), based in United States of America, categorised as academia.
When was CryoDRGN released?
CryoDRGN was published in February 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.
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.
