Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.
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
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) was published by University of British Columbia (UBC),Vector Institute,CIFAR AI Research, in the country recorded as Canada, during December 2024. It comes out of an organisation categorised as academia,Academia,Research collective.
It works in the domain of Games, and is recorded as performing the task of game of 24 (24 puzzle).
Its starting point was an existing base model, GPT-4 Turbo (Nov 2023). That is why it shares the base model's general shape and size.
Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded.
Answers
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) — common questions
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)— is it open source?
Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)— 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.
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)— who created it?
It was published by University of British Columbia (UBC),Vector Institute,CIFAR AI Research, based in Canada, an organisation categorised as academia,Academia,Research collective.
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)— when was it released?
It 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.
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Games, and is recorded as handling the task of game of 24 (24 puzzle). These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)— where can I download it?
The weights are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.
Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)— what GPU do I need to run it?
We cannot say. It has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.
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.
