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

Background

Eagle 2.5 was published by NVIDIA,Nanjing University,Hong Kong Polytechnic University,Rutgers University, in the country recorded as United States of America, during April 2025. The publishing organisation is categorised as industry,Academia,Academia,Academia.

It works in the domain of Vision, Robotics, Language.

Its starting point was an existing base model, Qwen2.5-7B. That is why it shares the base model's general shape and size.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Answers

Eagle 2.5 — common questions

01

Eagle 2.5— when was it released?

It was published in April 2025.

02

Eagle 2.5— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Vision, Robotics, Language. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

03

Eagle 2.5— 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

Eagle 2.5— 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

Eagle 2.5— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 8B. Table 8. "Full Model, 8B" Could be Qwen2.5-7B + MLP Connector (40M) https://nvlabs.github.io/EAGLE/ as of 2025-05-29: "Eagle-2.5 Weights (Coming Soon)". 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

Eagle 2.5— who created it?

It was published by NVIDIA,Nanjing University,Hong Kong Polytechnic University,Rutgers University, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry,Academia,Academia,Academia.
