Alibaba-NLP (mGTE)
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
Where it came from
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE) was published by Alibaba,Hong Kong Polytechnic University, in the country recorded as China, during October 2024. The category the publisher falls under is industry,Academia.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of semantic embedding.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
Answers
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE) — common questions
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE)— how many parameters does it have?
It has a parameter count of 304M. 304M. 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.
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE)— who created it?
It was published by Alibaba,Hong Kong Polytechnic University, based in China, an organisation categorised as industry,Academia.
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE)— when was it released?
It was published in October 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.
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE)— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of semantic embedding. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE)— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This 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.
Alibaba-NLP (mGTE)— is it open source?
The licensing was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.
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.
