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.

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

About this model

FastSpeech was published by Zhejiang University (ZJU),Microsoft Research, in China, in November 2019. It comes out of academia,Industry.

It works in Speech, and is recorded as doing text-to-speech (TTS).

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

How it was trained

Producing it required around 7.2 × 10¹⁸ FLOP of arithmetic, on NVIDIA V100, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.

Answers

FastSpeech — common questions

01

When was FastSpeech released?

FastSpeech was published in November 2019. 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 FastSpeech used for?

FastSpeech works in Speech, and is recorded as handling text-to-speech (TTS). Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

03

How much compute was used to train FastSpeech?

Around 7.2 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on NVIDIA V100. 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 FastSpeech?

None. FastSpeech 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 FastSpeech open source?

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

06

How many parameters does FastSpeech have?

FastSpeech has 30.1M parameters. 30.1M. 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 FastSpeech?

FastSpeech was published by Zhejiang University (ZJU),Microsoft Research, based in China, categorised as academia,Industry.
