Carbon-X 14B Model Matches GPT-6.1 Sol in DNA Tasks at Lower Cost

Carbon-X is an open-weights AI tool that performs biological sequence analysis and variant effect prediction using natural language. The 14B parameter model performs within one point of the proprietary GPT-6.1 Sol on DNA benchmarks at more than 1,000 times lower inference costs. Carbon-X was trained on more than 300B tokens of genomic data and 300k supervised and reinforcement learning samples.
