Open weights Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) September 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, Materials science
Task
Molecular simulation

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

"To obtain tetrapeptide MD trajectories for training and evaluation, we run implicit- and explicit solvent, all-atom simulations of ≈3000 training, 100 validation, and 100 test tetrapeptides for 100 ns. For proteins, we use explicit-solvent, all-atom simulations from the ATLAS dataset (Vander Meersche et al., 2024), which provides three 100 ns trajectories for each of 1390 structurally diverse proteins. Unless otherwise specified, models are trained with trajectory timesteps of ∆t = 10 ps . " "…

The training run

What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.

Training hardware
NVIDIA RTX A6000

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

What this model is

Mdgen was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in United States of America, in September 2024. It comes out of academia.

It works in Biology, Materials science, and is recorded as doing molecular simulation.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached.

Answers

Mdgen — common questions

01

When was Mdgen released?

Mdgen 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.

02

What is Mdgen used for?

Mdgen works in Biology, Materials science, and is recorded as handling molecular simulation. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

03

Where can I download Mdgen?

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

04

What GPU do I need to run Mdgen?

We cannot say. Mdgen 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.

05

Is Mdgen open source?

Its weights are published, so Mdgen 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.

06

How many parameters does Mdgen have?

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

07

Who created Mdgen?

Mdgen was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

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.
