ASE+ACE is an AI model developed by University of Massachusetts Amherst (United States), first published in September 1983. It works in the robotics domain, on tasks such as pole balancing. It counts among the frontier models: the systems trained with the most compute of their moment.
Training it took an estimated 3.2×10⁸ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 324 parameters. It was trained on roughly 500K datapoints.
The reference paper has 4,296 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as likely.
