MnasNet-A1 + SSDLite is an AI model developed by Google (United States), first published in May 2019. It works in the vision domain, on tasks such as image classification, object detection and neural architecture search - nas.

Training it took an estimated 1.5×10²¹ FLOP of compute (estimation method: hardware). The model has 4,900,000 parameters. Training ran on 256 Google TPU v3 for about 108 hours. The compute alone is estimated at $10K in 2023 dollars.

Access: Open weights (unrestricted). Its weights are openly available. The reference paper has 3,396 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as speculative.
