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.

How it is classified

Labels the source dataset applies when tracking notable models, and how confident it is in the entry.

Why it is tracked
SOTA improvement

"Both FOFEbased pooling and gated HORNNs have achieved the stateof-the-art performance, i.e., 100 in perplexity on this task. To the best of our knowledge, this is the best reported performance on PTB under the same training condition."

What the numbers mean

Background

Gated HORNN (3rd order) was published by York University, in Canada, in April 2016. It comes out of academia.

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.

What went into building it

Around 22,400,000 tokens went into training it.

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement.

Answers

Gated HORNN (3rd order) — common questions

01

Is Gated HORNN (3rd order) open source?

No. Gated HORNN (3rd order) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does Gated HORNN (3rd order) have?

Gated HORNN (3rd order) has 9M parameters. 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.

03

Who created Gated HORNN (3rd order)?

Gated HORNN (3rd order) was published by York University, based in Canada, categorised as academia.

04

When was Gated HORNN (3rd order) released?

Gated HORNN (3rd order) was published in April 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.

05

What is Gated HORNN (3rd order) used for?

Gated HORNN (3rd order) 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.

06

What GPU do I need to run Gated HORNN (3rd order)?

None. Gated HORNN (3rd order) 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.
