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

Background

KwooLa was published by Harbin Institute of Technology, in China, in November 2024. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing chat, Question answering.

It is derived from Qwen1.5-14B 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

KwooLa — common questions

01

Who created KwooLa?

KwooLa was published by Harbin Institute of Technology, based in China, categorised as academia.

02

When was KwooLa released?

KwooLa was published in November 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.

03

What is KwooLa used for?

KwooLa works in Language, and is recorded as handling chat, Question answering. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

04

What GPU do I need to run KwooLa?

None. KwooLa 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.

05

Is KwooLa open source?

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

06

How many parameters does KwooLa have?

KwooLa has 14B 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.

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.
