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

What this model is

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning was published by University of Toronto,University of Sherbrooke,Harvard University, in the country recorded as Canada, during December 2012. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Academia,Academia.

It works in the domain of Other, and is recorded as performing the task of mathematical simulation.

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

How it was trained

The training set ran to roughly 50,000 tokens of text.

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: highly cited.

Answers

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning — common questions

01

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning— when was it released?

It 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.

02

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Other, and is recorded as handling the task of mathematical simulation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

03

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning— what GPU do I need to run it?

None. This 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.

04

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning— is it open source?

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

05

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning— how many parameters does it have?

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

06

Bayesian automated hyperparameter tuning— who created it?

It was published by University of Toronto,University of Sherbrooke,Harvard University, based in Canada, an organisation categorised as academia,Academia,Academia.

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.
