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.

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Parameters
38M
Training data
50,000 tokens

In total, 95,824 images were collected from 5,982 workers out of which 50,000 images were retained after validation and included in the dataset

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
1.9 × 10¹⁹ FLOP

3-5 days of training (say, 4.5), 50 teraFLOP/second at 50% utilization rate (reported) = 1.94E19

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in the country recorded as United States of America, during September 2019. The category the publisher falls under is academia.

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of object recognition.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Training and provenance

The training run consumed about 1.9 × 10¹⁹ FLOP. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

The training set ran to roughly 50,000 tokens of text.

Answers

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet — common questions

01

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 38M. 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.

02

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet— who created it?

It was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia.

03

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet— when was it released?

It was published in September 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.

04

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as handling the task of object recognition. 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.

05

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 1.9 × 10¹⁹ 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.

06

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet— what GPU do I need to run it?

None. This 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.

07

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet— is it open source?

No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

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.
