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

Where it came from

AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) was published by Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), in United States of America, in November 2017. The organisation is categorised as academia.

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

AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) — common questions

01

When was AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) released?

AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) was published in November 2017. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

02

What is AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) used for?

AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) works in Language, and is recorded as handling 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.

03

What GPU do I need to run AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017)?

None. AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) 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.

04

Is AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) open source?

No. AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

05

How many parameters does AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) have?

AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) has 22M 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.

06

Who created AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017)?

AWD-LSTM-MoS + dynamic evaluation (PTB, 2017) was published by Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), based in United States of America, categorised as academia.
