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.

What the numbers mean

About this model

BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) was published by Amazon, in United States of America, in April 2019. It comes out of industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing neural Architecture Search - NAS, Language modeling.

Its starting point was BERT-Large — most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

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

Training and provenance

The training set ran to roughly 103,000,000 tokens.

Answers

BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) — common questions

01

Is BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) open source?

No. BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) have?

BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) has 340M parameters. Taken from Bert paper. 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.

03

Who created BERT-Large-CAS (WT103)?

BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) was published by Amazon, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

04

When was BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) released?

BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) was published in April 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.

05

What is BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) used for?

BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) works in Language, and is recorded as handling neural Architecture Search - NAS, Language modeling. 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.

06

What GPU do I need to run BERT-Large-CAS (WT103)?

None. BERT-Large-CAS (WT103) 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.
