VGG19 is an AI model developed by University of Oxford (United Kingdom), first published in September 2014. It works in the vision domain, on tasks such as image classification. It counts among the frontier models: the systems trained with the most compute of their moment.

Training it took an estimated 1.1×10¹⁹ FLOP of compute (estimation method: third-party estimation). The model has 144,000,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 1.3M datapoints.

The reference paper has 111,439 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as likely.
