Instructions to use HuggingFaceBio/Carbon-500M with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use HuggingFaceBio/Carbon-500M with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="HuggingFaceBio/Carbon-500M")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceBio/Carbon-500M")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceBio/Carbon-500M")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

R interface for Carbon — collaboration interest

Hi HuggingFace Bio team,

Congratulations on the Carbon release; impressive work, especially the FNS branch for base-pair level scoring.

I'm the developer of EvoR (github.com/BDB-Genomics/EvoR), an R interface to the Evo 2 genomic foundation model via NVIDIA BioNeMo. The R/Bioconductor genomics community has essentially zero native access to models like Carbon right now, and I think that's worth fixing.

I'd be interested in building a CarbonR package — an R-native interface to Carbon-3B/8B — and would love to do it in collaboration with your team rather than in isolation. Happy to discuss scope, credit, and how it fits into the HuggingFaceBio ecosystem.

Would you be open to a quick conversation?

Best,
Himanshu Bhandary
