RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB)

Closed weights University of Montreal / Université de Montréal 2.1M parameters December 2012

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

Where it came from

RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) was published by University of Montreal / Université de Montréal, in Canada, in December 2012. The organisation is categorised as 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.

Answers

RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) — common questions

01

What is RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) used for?

RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

02

What GPU do I need to run RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB)?

None. RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) 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.

03

Is RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) open source?

No. RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) have?

RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) has 2.1M 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.

05

Who created RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB)?

RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) was published by University of Montreal / Université de Montréal, based in Canada, categorised as academia.

06

When was RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) released?

RNN (SGD+CLR) (PTB) was published in December 2012. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

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.
