BERT-LARGE has 24 Transformer layers, 1024 hidden size, 16 attention heads, 4096 feed-forward size, and 340M parameters; it was trained on 16 TPUs (64 chips) for 4 days.

Summary

This pins down the exact size and shape of BERT-LARGE — how many stacked layers it has, how wide its memory is, and roughly how many tunable numbers it contains — along with the hardware and time it took to train. It matters because any downstream decision about cost, capability comparisons, or whether a different model can substitute for it needs this concrete anchor to reason from.
