Gradient Boosting Machine

Closed weights Stanford University October 2001

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

What this model is

Gradient Boosting Machine was published by Stanford University, in United States of America, in October 2001. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Mathematics, and is recorded as doing pattern classification, Binary classification, Regression.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

What went into building it

It was trained on about 5,000 tokens of text.

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is highly cited.

Answers

Gradient Boosting Machine — common questions

01

How many parameters does Gradient Boosting Machine have?

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

02

Who created Gradient Boosting Machine?

Gradient Boosting Machine was published by Stanford University, based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

03

When was Gradient Boosting Machine released?

Gradient Boosting Machine was published in October 2001. 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 Gradient Boosting Machine used for?

Gradient Boosting Machine works in Mathematics, and is recorded as handling pattern classification, Binary classification, Regression. 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 Gradient Boosting Machine?

None. Gradient Boosting Machine 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 Gradient Boosting Machine open source?

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

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.
