# Cuttlefish
**Cuttlefish** is a unified all-atom multimodal LLM that grounds language reasoning in geometric cues while scaling structural tokens with structural complexity. Built on Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, it extends the base LLM with a graph encoder and a Scaling-Aware Patching connector for processing proteins, molecules, DNA, and RNA structures.
## Quick start
```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
# Download model
local_dir = snapshot_download("zihaojing/Cuttlefish")
# Run inference (requires cuttlefish codebase)
# python src/runner/inference.py --config configs/inference/octopus_8B_s3_v1_5.yaml
```
## Input format
Cuttlefish accepts a unified parquet schema with structural graph columns:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `modality` | `"molecule"`, `"protein"`, `"dna"`, or `"rna"` |
| `node_feat` | Atom/node features (N × d) |
| `pos` | 3D coordinates in Å (N × 3) |
| `edge_index` | Spatial graph edges in COO (2 × E) |
| `messages` | Chat-style instruction with `<STRUCTURE>` token |
The `<STRUCTURE>` placeholder in the user message is replaced by the encoded structural tokens at inference time.
## Training details
- **Base model**: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
- **Encoder**: [Cuttlefish-Encoder](https://huggingface.co/zihaojing/Cuttlefish-Encoder) (pretrained on all-atom graph data)
- **SFT data**: [Cuttlefish-SFT-Data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/zihaojing/Cuttlefish-SFT-Data)
- **Training stages**: 2-stage SFT — connector training then full LLM fine-tuning with LoRA
