What the numbers mean

Background

Deepgram Nova-2 was published by Deepgram, in the country recorded as United States of America, during September 2023. It comes out of an organisation categorised as industry.

It works in the domain of Speech, and is recorded as performing the task of speech recognition (ASR).

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

Answers

Deepgram Nova-2 — common questions

01

Deepgram Nova-2— who created it?

It was published by Deepgram, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry.

02

Deepgram Nova-2— when was it released?

It was published in September 2023. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

03

Deepgram Nova-2— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Speech, and is recorded as handling the task of speech recognition (ASR). These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

04

Deepgram Nova-2— 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.

05

Deepgram Nova-2— is it open source?

No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

06

Deepgram Nova-2— 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.

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.
