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.

Training data
tokens

Our training process comprised three distinct stages: 1. Alignment: In this phase, we trained on a 198K mixture of 50/50 image and video captions. 2. Vision Pretraining: We tuned the encoders using a video-only caption dataset of 396K samples. 3. Supervised Fine-tuning (SFT): We trained on a mixture of text, image, multi-image, and video data, with a total of 3.2 million samples.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

Apollo-7B was published by Meta AI,Stanford University, in United States of America, in December 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry,Academia.

It works in Multimodal, Video, Language, and is recorded as doing video, Visual question answering, Video description, Language modeling/generation.

It builds on SigLIP 400M,Qwen2.5-7B, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

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

Answers

Apollo-7B — common questions

01

Is Apollo-7B open source?

No. Apollo-7B has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does Apollo-7B have?

Apollo-7B has 7B parameters. 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.

03

Who created Apollo-7B?

Apollo-7B was published by Meta AI,Stanford University, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Academia.

04

When was Apollo-7B released?

Apollo-7B was published in December 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

What is Apollo-7B used for?

Apollo-7B works in Multimodal, Video, Language, and is recorded as handling video, Visual question answering, Video description, Language modeling/generation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

What GPU do I need to run Apollo-7B?

None. Apollo-7B 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.

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.
