LSTM+Adam+Lookahead

Closed weights University of Toronto 7.2M parameters July 2019

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

What this model is

LSTM+Adam+Lookahead was published by University of Toronto, in Canada, in July 2019. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Answers

LSTM+Adam+Lookahead — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run LSTM+Adam+Lookahead?

None. LSTM+Adam+Lookahead 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.

02

Is LSTM+Adam+Lookahead open source?

No. LSTM+Adam+Lookahead has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

03

How many parameters does LSTM+Adam+Lookahead have?

LSTM+Adam+Lookahead has 7.2M 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.

04

Who created LSTM+Adam+Lookahead?

LSTM+Adam+Lookahead was published by University of Toronto, based in Canada, categorised as academia.

05

When was LSTM+Adam+Lookahead released?

LSTM+Adam+Lookahead was published in July 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.

06

What is LSTM+Adam+Lookahead used for?

LSTM+Adam+Lookahead works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

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.
