NPLM (Brown) is an AI model developed by University of Montreal / Université de Montréal (Canada), first published in March 2003. It works in the language domain, on tasks such as text autocompletion. It counts among the frontier models: the systems trained with the most compute of their moment.

Training it took an estimated 1.3×10¹⁴ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 4,124,233 parameters. It was trained on roughly 14M datapoints.

The reference paper has 7,637 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as confident.
