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

About this model

Coconut was published by Facebook,University of California San Diego, in United States of America, in December 2024. industry,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Question answering, Quantitative reasoning, Mathematical reasoning.

It is derived from GPT-2 (124M) rather than trained from scratch, which is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

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

Answers

Coconut — common questions

01

What is Coconut used for?

Coconut works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering, Quantitative reasoning, Mathematical reasoning. 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.

02

What GPU do I need to run Coconut?

None. Coconut 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 Coconut open source?

No. Coconut has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does Coconut have?

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

05

Who created Coconut?

Coconut was published by Facebook,University of California San Diego, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Academia.

06

When was Coconut released?

Coconut 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.

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.
