Hugging Face releases Carbon-X, an open 14.8B model you can chat with about DNA

Hugging Face Biology released Carbon-X under Apache 2.0, a 14.8B-parameter model built on Qwen3-14B that answers questions about pasted DNA sequences. Its model card reports a 66.7% average across five DNA benchmarks, runs on one 80 GB GPU, and says it is not clinically validated. Benchmarks are the authors' own.
