Yuel 2

Open weights Pennsylvania State University October 2024

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 it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Biology
Task
Protein-ligand binding affinity prediction

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
tokens

Pre-training data = 250,000 protein-ligand pairs 250,000 = 2.5e5 unique data points

Availability

Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

Yuel 2 was published by Pennsylvania State University, in United States of America, in October 2024. The organisation is categorised as academia.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein-ligand binding affinity prediction.

Published weights mean the model runs on your machine rather than someone else's, which is what makes the hardware question below answerable at all.

Answers

Yuel 2 — common questions

01

How many parameters does Yuel 2 have?

No parameter count has been published for Yuel 2, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

02

Who created Yuel 2?

Yuel 2 was published by Pennsylvania State University, based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

03

When was Yuel 2 released?

Yuel 2 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.

04

What is Yuel 2 used for?

Yuel 2 works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein-ligand binding affinity prediction. 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.

05

Where can I download Yuel 2?

The weights for Yuel 2 are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

06

What GPU do I need to run Yuel 2?

We cannot say. Yuel 2 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.

07

Is Yuel 2 open source?

Its weights are published, so Yuel 2 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.

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.
