Closed weights ByteDance 230M parameters October 2024

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 it does

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

Domain
Robotics
Task
Video, Action recognition, Video generation, Instruction interpretation, Robotic manipulation

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.

Parameters
230M

the default GR-2 model contains 230M parameters, of which 95M are trainable

Training data
tokens

This large-scale pre-training, involving 38 million video clips and over 50 billion tokens

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

GR-2 was published by ByteDance, in the country recorded as China, during October 2024. The category the publisher falls under is industry.

It works in the domain of Robotics, and is recorded as performing the task of video, Action recognition, Video generation, Instruction interpretation, Robotic manipulation.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Training and provenance

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.

Answers

GR-2 — common questions

01

GR-2— 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.

02

GR-2— is it open source?

No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

03

GR-2— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 230M. the default GR-2 model contains 230M parameters, of which 95M are trainable. 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.

04

GR-2— who created it?

It was published by ByteDance, based in China, an organisation categorised as industry.

05

GR-2— 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.

06

GR-2— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Robotics, and is recorded as handling the task of video, Action recognition, Video generation, Instruction interpretation, Robotic manipulation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

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.
