SCUBA-D
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
What this model is
SCUBA-D was published by University of Science and Technology of China (USTC),Oristruct Biotech Company,iFLYTEK Research, in China, in October 2024. It comes out of academia,Industry,Industry.
It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein design.
Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
Answers
SCUBA-D — common questions
How many parameters does SCUBA-D have?
No parameter count has been published for SCUBA-D, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created SCUBA-D?
SCUBA-D was published by University of Science and Technology of China (USTC),Oristruct Biotech Company,iFLYTEK Research, based in China, categorised as academia,Industry,Industry.
When was SCUBA-D released?
SCUBA-D 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.
What is SCUBA-D used for?
SCUBA-D works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein design. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
What GPU do I need to run SCUBA-D?
None. SCUBA-D 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.
Is SCUBA-D open source?
The licensing for SCUBA-D 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.
