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 it does
The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.
- Domain
- Language
- Task
- Language generation
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
- 400M
- Training data
- tokens
- Epochs
- 100
a total of ∼ 400M parameters (258M for Conv, 138M for Trans)
The model is trained for 100 epochs with a batch size of 128 Custom dataset collected from 35 participants typing 128 unique Spanish sentences
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.
- Training compute
- 1.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP
- How it was established
- Hardware
125000000000000 FLOP / GPU / sec [V100 reported, bf16 assumed] * 1 GPU * 12 hours * 3600 sec / hour * 0.3 [assumed utilization] = 1.62e+18 FLOP
The training run
What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.
- Training hardware
- NVIDIA V100
- Chips used
- 1
- Wall-clock time
- 12 hours
- Power draw
- 324 W
Training was conducted on a single NVIDIA Tesla V100 Volta GPU with 32 GB of memory. The total runtime for training one model is ∼12 hours

What the numbers mean
Where it came from
Brain2Qwerty was published by Meta AI,Universite de Technologie de Compiègne – CNRS,Basque Center on Cognition, in United States of America, in February 2025. industry,Academia,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language generation.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
How it was trained
Producing it required around 1.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP of arithmetic, on NVIDIA V100, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.
Answers
Brain2Qwerty — common questions
What is Brain2Qwerty used for?
Brain2Qwerty works in Language, and is recorded as handling language generation. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.
How much compute was used to train Brain2Qwerty?
Around 1.6 × 10¹⁸ FLOP, on NVIDIA V100. 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.
What GPU do I need to run Brain2Qwerty?
None. Brain2Qwerty 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.
Is Brain2Qwerty open source?
No. Brain2Qwerty has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Brain2Qwerty have?
Brain2Qwerty has 400M parameters. a total of ∼ 400M parameters (258M for Conv, 138M for Trans). 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.
Who created Brain2Qwerty?
Brain2Qwerty was published by Meta AI,Universite de Technologie de Compiègne – CNRS,Basque Center on Cognition, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Academia,Academia.
When was Brain2Qwerty released?
Brain2Qwerty was published in February 2025.
