6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian
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.
- Training compute
- 1.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP
- How it was established
- Operation counting
6 FLOP / parameter / token * 85500000 parameters * 103000000 tokens * 30 epochs = 1.58517e+18 FLOP
Availability
Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

What the numbers mean
Where it came from
6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian was published by NERSC, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,University of California (UC) Berkeley, in United States of America, in June 2020. It comes out of government,Academia.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Training and provenance
Producing it required around 1.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP of arithmetic, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.
The training set ran to roughly 103,000,000 tokens.
Answers
6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian — common questions
Who created 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian?
6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian was published by NERSC, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,University of California (UC) Berkeley, based in United States of America, categorised as government,Academia.
When was 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian released?
6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian was published in June 2020. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
What is 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian used for?
6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
How much compute was used to train 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian?
Around 1.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP. 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.
What GPU do I need to run 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian?
None. 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian 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 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian open source?
No. 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does 6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian have?
6-Layer-Tensor-Transformer+AdaHessian has 85.5M parameters. " Following [35], a three-layer tensorized transformer core-1 for PTB and a six-layer tensorized transformer core-1 for Wikitext-103 are used in the experiments" [35] Ma, X.; Zhang, P.; Zhang, S.; Duan, N.; Hou, Y.; Zhou, M.; and Song, D. 2019. A tensorized transformer for language modeling. In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, 2229–2239. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.09777 Tensorized transformer has 85.5M 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.
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.
