Closed weights Facebook AI Research December 2016

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

GCNN-14 was published by Facebook AI Research, in United States of America, in December 2016. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Training and provenance

Around 103,000,000 tokens went into training it.

Answers

GCNN-14 — common questions

01

What is GCNN-14 used for?

GCNN-14 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.

02

What GPU do I need to run GCNN-14?

None. GCNN-14 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

Is GCNN-14 open source?

No. GCNN-14 has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does GCNN-14 have?

No parameter count has been published for GCNN-14, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

05

Who created GCNN-14?

GCNN-14 was published by Facebook AI Research, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

06

When was GCNN-14 released?

GCNN-14 was published in December 2016. 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.
