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 it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Task
Image completion

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.

Parameters

Training data
81,000 tokens

“The training experiments were carried out on a database of 30,000 photos. Therefor the database was split into ten sets. Nine of them were used for the training and one for the testing.”

Epochs

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

MUSIC perceptron was published by its authors, during June 1996.

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of image completion.

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 run consumed about 8.8 × 10¹¹ FLOP. That figure measures what producing the model cost, and has no bearing on how fast it answers.

It was trained on a corpus of about 81,000 tokens of text.

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: historical significance.

Answers

MUSIC perceptron — common questions

01

MUSIC perceptron— what is it used for?

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

02

MUSIC perceptron— how much compute was used to train it?

Training consumed around 8.8 × 10¹¹ 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.

03

MUSIC perceptron— 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

MUSIC perceptron— 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

MUSIC perceptron— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 13.6K. 230*55+56*15+16*6+7*3=13607 (Figure 2). 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.

06

MUSIC perceptron— when was it released?

It was published in June 1996. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

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.
