# CENO-600M-base
**CENO-600M-base** is the base pretraining checkpoint of the 600M **CENO** DNA foundation model — a causal language model over genomic sequence built on a
Nemotron-H **Mamba / Attention / Mixture-of-Experts** hybrid backbone (no 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).
This checkpoint is standalone-loadable with `trust_remote_code=True` — the model code is
bundled here.
## Model details
| | |
|---|---|
| Family | CENO (base) |
| Training stage | Base pretraining (stage 2) |
| Parameters | 630.8M |
| Precision | bfloat16 |
| `model_type` | `ceno` |
| Architecture class | `CENOForCausalLM` |
| Auto-map (model) | `modeling_ceno.CENOForCausalLM` |
| Auto-map (tokenizer) | `ceno_tokenizer.CENOCharLevelTokenizer` |
## Architecture
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Hidden layers | 20 |
| 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-600M-base"
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).
