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

About this model

DeepConPred2 was published by Tsinghua University, in China, in October 2018. It comes out of academia.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing proteins, Protein folding prediction, Protein contact and distance prediction.

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

What went into building it

The training set ran to roughly 38,733,750 tokens.

Answers

DeepConPred2 — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run DeepConPred2?

None. DeepConPred2 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 DeepConPred2 open source?

The licensing for DeepConPred2 was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

03

How many parameters does DeepConPred2 have?

No parameter count has been published for DeepConPred2, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

04

Who created DeepConPred2?

DeepConPred2 was published by Tsinghua University, based in China, categorised as academia.

05

When was DeepConPred2 released?

DeepConPred2 was published in October 2018. 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 DeepConPred2 used for?

DeepConPred2 works in Biology, and is recorded as handling proteins, Protein folding prediction, Protein contact and distance prediction. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
