AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB)
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
Background
AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) was published by University of Edinburgh, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in September 2017. academia is the category the publisher falls under.
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 + dynamic eval (PTB) — common questions
Who created AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB)?
AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) was published by University of Edinburgh, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as academia.
When was AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) released?
AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) was published in September 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.
What is AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) used for?
AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
What GPU do I need to run AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB)?
None. AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) 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 AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) open source?
No. AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) have?
AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (PTB) has 24M 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.
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.
