RECONTRA-categorized
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.

Size
How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

5000*8=40000 words The number of words of the categorized sentences ranged from 3 to 13 for the Spanish ones and from 3 to 12 for the English ones.
Training compute
The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

What the numbers mean
What this model is
RECONTRA-categorized was published by its authors, during June 1999.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of translation.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
What went into building it
Producing it required arithmetic totalling around 8 × 10¹² FLOP. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.
Training consumed a corpus of around 40,000 tokens of text.
Its inclusion criterion: training cost.
Answers
RECONTRA-categorized — common questions
RECONTRA-categorized— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 66.8K. 6*50*140+140*140+140*37=66780 Table 1. 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.
RECONTRA-categorized— when was it released?
It was published in June 1999. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
RECONTRA-categorized— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of translation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
RECONTRA-categorized— how much compute was used to train it?
Training consumed around 8 × 10¹² FLOP. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.
RECONTRA-categorized— 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.
RECONTRA-categorized— 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.
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.
