Loubna Ben Allal (Hugging Face) shares Carbon-X results: after FineDNA midtraining, 200k curated SFT samples for DNA tasks (variant effect prediction, sequence QA), and RL with verifiable rewards, Carbon-X scores 66.7 average across five DNA benchmarks — outperforming every open language model and nearing closed models like Opus 5.5 (67.5) and GPT-6.1 (60.9), starting from Qwen3-14B's 40.0.
