Did I understand correctly that all calculations take place on my computer?
In connection with this, I have a question - what PC parameters are required? (RAM, processor, etc.)
Hi @Max, welcome to the forum!
No the AlphaGenome model calculations are done on a remote server, with the results sent to your computer, so you only need enough memory to be able to store the resultant prediction in memory. If you use Google Colab then you only need a browser (I’ve happily made model predictions on my iPad this way!)
Hi @tward, that is if you want to use AlphaGenome API, but if I want to download the model from AlphaGenome - a google Collection and use it locally, do you know which minimal requirements does it need?
Hi @edurenye, please see the model requirements for our recommendations to run the model locally and getting comparable results to our paper.
You might have some luck running on lesser powerful hardware, but it’s not something we’ve exhaustively tested, especially w.r.t accuracy.
Personally, I’ve had some limited success running the quick start Colab on free v5e TPUs, but at shorter sequence lengths (131kb) and with fewer heads. This won’t be as accurate (see figure 7 for sequence length ablations), but can be helpful for exploring the model’s capabilities.
Hope that helps!
Yes, exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much @tward!
