Inceptionv4
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
What this model is
Inceptionv4 was published by Google, in United States of America, in February 2016. industry is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing image classification.
Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
Training and provenance
The training set ran to roughly 1,280,000 tokens.
Its inclusion criterion is highly cited.
Answers
Inceptionv4 — common questions
Is Inceptionv4 open source?
The licensing for Inceptionv4 was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
How many parameters does Inceptionv4 have?
Inceptionv4 has 43M parameters. "The folks from Google strike again with Inception-v4, 43M parameters." https://towardsdatascience.com/illustrated-10-cnn-architectures-95d78ace614d. 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.
Who created Inceptionv4?
Inceptionv4 was published by Google, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was Inceptionv4 released?
Inceptionv4 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.
What is Inceptionv4 used for?
Inceptionv4 works in Vision, and is recorded as handling image classification. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run Inceptionv4?
None. Inceptionv4 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.
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.
