U-PaLM (540B) is an AI model developed by Google (United States), first published in October 2022. It works in the language domain, on tasks such as language generation, language modeling/generation, question answering and 2 more. It counts among the frontier models: the systems trained with the most compute of their moment.

Training it took an estimated 2.5×10²⁴ FLOP of compute (estimation method: comparison with other models). The model has 540,000,000,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 1.3B datapoints. Training ran on 512 Google TPU v4 for about 120 hours.

Access: Unreleased. Its weights are not openly released. It is built on top of PaLM (540B). The reference paper has 76 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as confident.
