QT-Opt is an AI model developed by Google Brain and University of California (UC) Berkeley (United States), first published in June 2018. It works in the robotics and vision domain, on tasks such as robotic manipulation.
Training it took an estimated 1.4×10¹⁹ FLOP of compute (estimation method: hardware). The model has 1,200,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 11.6M datapoints. Training ran on NVIDIA P100 for about 104 hours. The compute alone is estimated at $1K in 2023 dollars.
Access: Unreleased. Its weights are not openly released. The reference paper has 1,692 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as likely.
