A new open-source model named Carbon-X has been released, featuring 14.8 billion parameters and trained on both DNA sequences and plain text. This model processes raw DNA input and generates English responses, utilizing a shared token stream for both data types. While it has demonstrated competitive performance on DNA benchmarks, it has not undergone clinical validation and is not intended for exact sequence operations, which should still be handled by code.
