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.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

Background

DOT(S)-RNN was published by Aalto University,University of Montreal / Université de Montréal, in Finland, in December 2013. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

What went into building it

The training set ran to roughly 929,000 tokens.

Answers

DOT(S)-RNN — common questions

01

Is DOT(S)-RNN open source?

No. DOT(S)-RNN has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does DOT(S)-RNN have?

DOT(S)-RNN has 6.2M parameters. 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.

03

Who created DOT(S)-RNN?

DOT(S)-RNN was published by Aalto University,University of Montreal / Université de Montréal, based in Finland, categorised as academia,Academia.

04

When was DOT(S)-RNN released?

DOT(S)-RNN was published in December 2013. 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 DOT(S)-RNN used for?

DOT(S)-RNN works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. 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.

06

What GPU do I need to run DOT(S)-RNN?

None. DOT(S)-RNN 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.

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.
