Transformer local-attention (NesT-B) is an AI model developed by Google Cloud and Google Research (United States), first published in May 2021. It works in the vision domain, on tasks such as image classification and image generation.
Training it took an estimated 2.4×10¹⁹ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 90,100,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 1.3M datapoints.
Access: Open weights (unrestricted). Its weights are openly available. The reference paper has 5,734 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as confident.
