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 Canada, in December 2024. It comes out of academia,Academia,Research collective.

It works in Games, and is recorded as doing game of 24 (24 puzzle).

Its starting point was GPT-4 Turbo (Nov 2023) — most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

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

01

Is Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) open source?

Its weights are published, so Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) 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.

02

How many parameters does Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) have?

No parameter count has been published for Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE), which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

Who created Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)?

Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) was published by University of British Columbia (UBC),Vector Institute,CIFAR AI Research, based in Canada, categorised as academia,Academia,Research collective.

04

When was Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) released?

Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) 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 Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) used for?

Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) works in Games, and is recorded as handling game of 24 (24 puzzle). These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

Where can I download Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)?

The weights for Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

07

What GPU do I need to run Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE)?

We cannot say. Intelligent Go-Explore (IGE) 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.

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.
