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 it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Games
Task
Hanabi

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.

Training data
20,000,000,000 tokens

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
4.3 × 10¹⁸ FLOP

14.13e+12 FLOP/s * 7 days * 86400 s/day * 0.50 utilization = 4.3e+18 FLOP

The training run

What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.

Training hardware

Availability

Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

What the numbers mean

About this model

Hanabi 4 player was published by DeepMind,University of Oxford,Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),Google Brain, in the country recorded as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, during February 2019. The category the publisher falls under is industry,Academia,Academia,Industry.

It works in the domain of Games, and is recorded as performing the task of hanabi.

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

What went into building it

The training run consumed about 4.3 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on hardware recorded as NVIDIA V100. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

Training consumed a corpus of around 20,000,000,000 tokens of text.

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all: historical significance.

Answers

Hanabi 4 player — common questions

01

Hanabi 4 player— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 4.3 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on hardware recorded as 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.

02

Hanabi 4 player— 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.

03

Hanabi 4 player— is it open source?

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

04

Hanabi 4 player— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 764K. source: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Kj4Q5WADcDXtUJLIOfGTCE3tGvxNczEMwyy8QtgSkHk/edit#gid=54587040&fvid=1361937389. 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.

05

Hanabi 4 player— who created it?

It was published by DeepMind,University of Oxford,Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),Google Brain, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, an organisation categorised as industry,Academia,Academia,Industry.

06

Hanabi 4 player— when was it released?

It was published in February 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.

07

Hanabi 4 player— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Games, and is recorded as handling the task of hanabi. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

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.
