PoE MNIST is an AI model developed by University College London (UCL) (United Kingdom), first published in November 2000. It works in the vision domain, on tasks such as digit recognition. It counts among the frontier models: the systems trained with the most compute of their moment.

Training it took an estimated 5.2×10¹³ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 3,925,310 parameters. It was trained on roughly 54K datapoints.

Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as confident.
