Chinese - English translation
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
Chinese - English translation was published by Microsoft, in United States of America, in March 2018. It comes out of industry.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing translation.
Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
What went into building it
It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.
Answers
Chinese - English translation — common questions
What GPU do I need to run Chinese - English translation?
None. Chinese - English translation 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.
Is Chinese - English translation open source?
The licensing for Chinese - English translation was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
How many parameters does Chinese - English translation have?
No parameter count has been published for Chinese - English translation, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created Chinese - English translation?
Chinese - English translation was published by Microsoft, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was Chinese - English translation released?
Chinese - English translation was published in March 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.
What is Chinese - English translation used for?
Chinese - English translation works in Language, and is recorded as handling translation. 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.
