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

Background

ProtENN2 was published by European Bioinformatics Institute,University of Cambridge,Google Research, in Multinational, in September 2024. It comes out of research collective,Academia,Industry.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein classification.

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

Answers

ProtENN2 — common questions

01

What is ProtENN2 used for?

ProtENN2 works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein classification. 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.

02

What GPU do I need to run ProtENN2?

None. ProtENN2 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.

03

Is ProtENN2 open source?

No. ProtENN2 has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does ProtENN2 have?

No parameter count has been published for ProtENN2, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

05

Who created ProtENN2?

ProtENN2 was published by European Bioinformatics Institute,University of Cambridge,Google Research, based in Multinational, categorised as research collective,Academia,Industry.

06

When was ProtENN2 released?

ProtENN2 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.

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.
