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

Golem was published by Alan Turing Institute, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in October 1992. The organisation is categorised as government.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein folding prediction.

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

How it was trained

Around 1,612 tokens went into training it.

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

Answers

Golem — common questions

01

What is Golem used for?

Golem works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein folding prediction. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

02

What GPU do I need to run Golem?

None. Golem 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 Golem open source?

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

04

How many parameters does Golem have?

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

05

Who created Golem?

Golem was published by Alan Turing Institute, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as government.

06

When was Golem released?

Golem was published in October 1992. 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.
