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.

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 it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Language
Task
Language modeling

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Parameters
51M

51M (Table 3)

Training data
929,000 tokens

75 epochs (Figure 2b)

Epochs

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

Training compute
2.1 × 10¹⁶ FLOP

6 FLOP / parameter / token * 51000000 parameters * 929000 tokens * 75 epochs = 2.132055e+16 FLOP

How it was established
Operation counting

Availability

Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

VD-LSTM+REAL Large was published by Salesforce Research,Stanford University, in United States of America, in November 2016. It comes out of industry,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.

How it was trained

Producing it required around 2.1 × 10¹⁶ FLOP of arithmetic, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.

The training set ran to roughly 929,000 tokens.

Its inclusion criterion is sOTA improvement.

Answers

VD-LSTM+REAL Large — common questions

01

How much compute was used to train VD-LSTM+REAL Large?

Around 2.1 × 10¹⁶ FLOP. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

02

What GPU do I need to run VD-LSTM+REAL Large?

None. VD-LSTM+REAL Large 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 VD-LSTM+REAL Large open source?

No. VD-LSTM+REAL Large has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does VD-LSTM+REAL Large have?

VD-LSTM+REAL Large has 51M parameters. 51M (Table 3). 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

Who created VD-LSTM+REAL Large?

VD-LSTM+REAL Large was published by Salesforce Research,Stanford University, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Academia.

06

When was VD-LSTM+REAL Large released?

VD-LSTM+REAL Large was published in November 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.

07

What is VD-LSTM+REAL Large used for?

VD-LSTM+REAL Large 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.

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.
