Closed weights Google DeepMind December 2015

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

Advantage Learning was published by Google DeepMind, in United States of America, in December 2015. It comes out of industry.

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.

Training and provenance

The training set ran to roughly 100,000,000 tokens.

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

Answers

Advantage Learning — common questions

01

How many parameters does Advantage Learning have?

No parameter count has been published for Advantage Learning, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

02

Who created Advantage Learning?

Advantage Learning was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

03

When was Advantage Learning released?

Advantage Learning was published in December 2015. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

04

What is Advantage Learning used for?

Advantage Learning works in Games, and is recorded as handling atari. 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.

05

What GPU do I need to run Advantage Learning?

None. Advantage Learning 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.

06

Is Advantage Learning open source?

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