Carbon-X 14.8B

Carbon-X is a chat model that speaks genetics. The Qwen3-14B base was retrained on DNA, variant-effect and genomics text, so a wet-lab notebook question comes back answered in the field’s own terms. The analogy: a reference librarian who has read only the genetics shelf, deeply. It exists because genomics assistants need domain precision that general models hallucinate around. Reach for it in genomics chat, variant-annotation pipelines and teaching contexts. Honest status: weights on HuggingFace (Apache-2.0) with community GGUFs out; downloads modest (193) and traction early; treat benchmarks as unverified until someone independent runs them.
