Hugging Face released Carbon-X, a 14.8B Apache 2.0 open-weights model built on Qwen3-14B that reads raw DNA. It scores 63.6% on GenomeQA, second only to GPT-6.1 Sol (67.2%) and ahead of Gemini 4 Argon (63.1) and Claude Opus 5.5 (62.2); its BioReason coding variant beats GPT-6.1 Sol 74.9 to 71.0 — a notable open-model result for AI in genomics.
