Dueling DQN
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.

What the numbers mean
About this model
Dueling DQN was published by Google DeepMind, in United States of America, in April 2016. industry is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Games, and is recorded as doing atari.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
How it was trained
The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement.
Answers
Dueling DQN — common questions
Who created Dueling DQN?
Dueling DQN was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was Dueling DQN released?
Dueling DQN 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.
What is Dueling DQN used for?
Dueling DQN works in Games, and is recorded as handling atari. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
What GPU do I need to run Dueling DQN?
None. Dueling DQN 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.
Is Dueling DQN open source?
No. Dueling DQN has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Dueling DQN have?
Dueling DQN has 1.7M parameters. Same parameter count as DQN. 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.
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.
