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.

Object recognition

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 United States of America, in September 2019. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing 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 describes the cost of creating it and has no bearing on how quickly it generates text.

The training set ran to roughly 50,000 tokens.

Answers

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet — common questions

01

How many parameters does ResNet-152 + ObjectNet have?

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet has 38M 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.

02

Who created ResNet-152 + ObjectNet?

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

03

When was ResNet-152 + ObjectNet released?

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet 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

What is ResNet-152 + ObjectNet used for?

ResNet-152 + ObjectNet works in Vision, and is recorded as handling 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

How much compute was used to train ResNet-152 + ObjectNet?

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

What GPU do I need to run ResNet-152 + ObjectNet?

None. ResNet-152 + ObjectNet 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

Is ResNet-152 + ObjectNet open source?

No. ResNet-152 + ObjectNet has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
