An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.
SAVRN's Notes on bart-large-mnli
Zero-shot here means the labels arrive at inference time, not training time. The passage becomes the premise, each candidate label becomes a hypothesis, and the entailment score picks the winner, so a ten-label job is ten passes over the same text and throughput, not memory, is what to plan around. The cheapest listed setup is a single MI300X, 192 GB, at $1.85 per hour on-demand; at 16-bit the 407 million parameters need 1.0 GB of it, so share the card.
The license is MIT: keep the copyright and permission notice and use, modify and redistribute it commercially as you like. Two checks. The context is 1,024 tokens, so long documents get chunked. And the lineage: this is bart-large after training on MultiNLI; arXiv 1910.13461 covers BART and arXiv 1909.00161 the zero-shot method. No host on our Index prices it by the token, so you run it yourself.
