Abstract: Implementations of this specification provide prediction methods and apparatuses for adjusting computing power. One method comprises receiving a prediction request, wherein the prediction request comprises a sample to be tested, determining a computing power coefficient allocated to the prediction request, wherein the computing power coefficient indicates a proportion of hardware computing power resources allocated to the prediction request to total hardware computing power resources needed for a neural network model to run on a computing platform, determining k sub-networks inn sub-networks of the neural network model to be used for a present time based on the computing power coefficient, where n>2, and inputting the sample to be tested to the k sub-networks to obtain a prediction result.
