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

Background

Inception-ResNet-V2 was published by Google, in the country recorded as United States of America, during February 2016. It comes out of an organisation categorised as industry.

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of image classification.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

What went into building it

The training set ran to roughly 1,280,000 tokens of text.

Its inclusion criterion: highly cited.

Answers

Inception-ResNet-V2 — common questions

01

Inception-ResNet-V2— who created it?

It was published by Google, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry.

02

Inception-ResNet-V2— when was it released?

It was published in February 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

Inception-ResNet-V2— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as handling the task of image classification. 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.

04

Inception-ResNet-V2— 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

Inception-ResNet-V2— is it open source?

The licensing was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

06

Inception-ResNet-V2— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 56M. 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.
