Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients

Closed weights Google DeepMind September 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.

Answers

Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients — common questions

01

Is Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients open source?

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

02

How many parameters does Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients have?

No parameter count has been published for Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

Who created Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients?

Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

04

When was Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients released?

Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients was published in September 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.

05

What is Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients used for?

Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients works in Robotics, and is recorded as handling robotic manipulation, Self-driving car. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

What GPU do I need to run Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients?

None. Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients 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.
