# CENO-P-1B

**CENO-P-1B** is the multi-species alignment (MSA) post-trained variant of the 1B **CENO**
DNA foundation model, for **variant effect prediction (VEP)**. It carries
`intra_encoding_pattern` in its config and ships the MSA scoring path (`modeling_ceno_p.py`),
which consumes a per-token `seq_idx` to score packed MSA inputs.

It is part of the **CENO** DNA foundation model family. Model code, the VEP pipeline, and a
generation demo live in the companion [CENO code repository](https://github.com/CladeTeam/CENO).
Run VEP via the TraitGym example there. This checkpoint is standalone-loadable with
`trust_remote_code=True` — the model code is bundled here.

## Model details

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Family | CENO-P (MSA post-trained) |
| Training stage | MSA post-training (VEP) |
| Parameters | 1.3B (1302.4M) |
| Precision | float32 |
| `model_type` | `ceno` |
| Architecture class | `CENOPForCausalLM` |
| Auto-map (model) | `modeling_ceno_p.CENOPForCausalLM` |
| Auto-map (tokenizer) | `ceno_tokenizer.CENOCharLevelTokenizer` |

## Architecture

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Hidden layers | 38 |
| Hidden size | 1024 |
| Attention heads | 16 |
| Intermediate size | 4096 |
| Experts (MoE) | 8 (top-2 per token) |
| Vocabulary | 512 (byte / character-level) |

The backbone is a Mamba / Attention / Mixture-of-Experts hybrid (Nemotron-H
architecture). The tokenizer is character-level, mapping DNA bases to their ASCII
byte codes.

## Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

ckpt = "CladeTeam/CENO-P-1B"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(ckpt, trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(ckpt, trust_remote_code=True)

ids = tokenizer.encode("ATCGATCG", return_tensors="pt")
# out = model.generate(ids, max_new_tokens=128)   # needs a CUDA GPU (Mamba kernels)
```

> The Mamba layers require CUDA kernels, so forward passes and generation need a GPU.
> Config, tokenizer, and weight loading are CPU-safe.

## Intended use

- **Base checkpoints (`CENO-*`)** — genomic-sequence generation and embedding extraction;
  downstream adaptation (fine-tuning, probing) for genomics tasks.
- **MSA checkpoints (`CENO-P-*`)** — variant effect prediction (VEP) by scoring wild-type
  vs. variant sequences with delta log-likelihood. See the TraitGym VEP example in the
  [CENO code repository](https://github.com/CladeTeam/CENO).
