Parameters

Also called: parameter, params, model parameters, billion parameters, model size, parameter count

The values a model learns during training. Weights are the main kind, so people often use the two words to mean the same thing. The count of parameters is a common way to describe the size of a model.

For example: One model has 8 billion parameters and another has 70 billion. The larger one needs more memory and a stronger GPU to run.
