Overview and history

InternLM is an official Shanghai AI Laboratory model family represented here through independently verified release, checkpoint, license, runtime and hardware evidence. InternLM provides an established open-weight language-model line with official checkpoints suitable for reference and private inference. Current public releases are grouped by the General tracks so sibling sizes and specialist branches are not presented as false chronological generations.

FusionPointAI currently tracks 1 certified public InternLM releases. The catalogue preserves release dates and evaluates Current, Recent, Previous and Legacy status within each model track rather than by database insertion order.

Architecture and model range

The verified public range spans 8B to 8B total parameters and context windows up to 131,072 tokens. Each release states whether it is dense or mixture-of-experts and records active parameters separately when the official source publishes them.

Generations, tracks and variants

General

Deployment ecosystem

Choose a specific InternLM release and certified checkpoint before sizing hardware. FusionPointAI rejects unknown runtime configurations, calculates resident memory from total model weights, then distinguishes globally compatible GPUs from currently rentable inventory.

Validate the exact checkpoint license, runtime version, precision kernel, context length, concurrency and multi-GPU topology. Active MoE parameters affect compute, but resident model memory continues to use total stored weights.

License overview

Licenses are certified per release, not inferred from the provider. Review the release page before commercial deployment because terms can differ between generations and variants.

Commercial-use status is a source-backed catalogue classification, not legal advice. Follow the linked official license and attribution requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Which InternLM release is current?

Current releases are Not published by manufacturer, evaluated within their respective tracks.

Can InternLM be self-hosted?

Only releases with a verified official checkpoint and supported runtime configuration are presented as deployable.

Which GPU should run InternLM?

GPU selection depends on the exact variant, checkpoint precision, context length and concurrency; use the release hardware recommendations rather than the family name alone.
