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.

What the numbers mean

About this model

PepNet was published by Shandong University, in China, in September 2024. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein design, Protein or nucleotide language model (pLM/nLM).

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Answers

PepNet — common questions

01

Who created PepNet?

PepNet was published by Shandong University, based in China, categorised as academia.

02

When was PepNet released?

PepNet was published in September 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 PepNet used for?

PepNet works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein design, Protein or nucleotide language model (pLM/nLM). These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

04

What GPU do I need to run PepNet?

None. PepNet 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 PepNet open source?

The licensing for PepNet was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

06

How many parameters does PepNet have?

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