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
6.8M

VD-LSTM+REAL Large has 51M parameters. The parameter count of the Small model is not reported, but they say it has 200 hidden units per layer, compared to 1500 for the Large model. Neglecting the rest of the architecture, 51M * (200/1500) = 6.8M

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

VD-LSTM+REAL Small was published by Stanford University,Salesforce Research, in the country recorded as United States of America, during November 2016. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Industry.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling.

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

Answers

VD-LSTM+REAL Small — common questions

01

VD-LSTM+REAL Small— who created it?

It was published by Stanford University,Salesforce Research, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.

02

VD-LSTM+REAL Small— when was it released?

It 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.

03

VD-LSTM+REAL Small— 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.

04

VD-LSTM+REAL Small— 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.

05

VD-LSTM+REAL Small— is it open source?

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

06

VD-LSTM+REAL Small— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 6.8M. VD-LSTM+REAL Large has 51M parameters. The parameter count of the Small model is not reported, but they say it has 200 hidden units per layer, compared to 1500 for the Large model. Neglecting the rest of the architecture, 51M * (200/1500) = 6.8M. 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.

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.
