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

AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (WT2) was published by University of Edinburgh, in the country recorded as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, during September 2017. The publishing organisation is categorised as academia.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of 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 (WT2) — common questions

01

AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (WT2)— what is it used for?

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

02

AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (WT2)— 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

AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (WT2)— is it open source?

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

04

AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (WT2)— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 33M. 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

AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (WT2)— who created it?

It was published by University of Edinburgh, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, an organisation categorised as academia.

06

AWD-LSTM + dynamic eval (WT2)— when was it released?

It 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.

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.
