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
What this model is
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD was published by University of Edinburgh,Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, in the country recorded as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, during September 2016. The category the publisher falls under is academia,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
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD — common questions
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 46M. 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.
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD— who created it?
It was published by University of Edinburgh,Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, an organisation categorised as academia,Academia.
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD— when was it released?
It was published in September 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.
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD— 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.
Byte-mLSTM+emb+WN+VD— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
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.
