These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

gpt2 medium: common questions

How does gpt2 medium rank among AI models?

gpt2 medium has no public ModelCap Index position as of 2 October 2026: the snapshot lacks enough matched benchmark evidence, or the identity match is unresolved. Its catalogue facts (price, context, providers) are shown without a rank.

How much does gpt2 medium cost per 1M tokens?

No live API price is listed for gpt2 medium in the current snapshot as of 2 October 2026 because the latest endpoint refresh was unavailable. ModelCap shows a price only when a provider currently lists one.

Is gpt2 medium open-weight?

Open weights (mit). Downloadable weights are published under an OSI or free-culture license in the current repository metadata. This describes weight availability, not whether the full training stack qualifies as Open Source AI. The repository is openai-community/gpt2-medium on Hugging Face.

When was gpt2 medium released?

gpt2 medium first appeared in the catalogue on 2 Mar 2022. It is the current version in its family. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
