CENO Rice CDS 1-Epoch Finetune

CENO model finetuned for one epoch on Oryza sativa CDS sequences.

CENO is derived from NVIDIA's Nemotron-H (Apache-2.0). The custom Transformers remote code in this repository (configuration_ceno.py, modeling_ceno.py) is a rename of the upstream Nemotron-H implementation.

This repository includes custom Transformers remote code for CENOForCausalLM and CENOCharLevelTokenizer. Load with trust_remote_code=True.

Files

• model.safetensors: model weights
• config.json: model config with auto_map
• generation_config.json: generation config
• configuration_ceno.py, modeling_ceno.py: custom model code
• ceno_tokenizer.py, tokenizer_config.json, special_tokens_map.json, vocab.json: tokenizer files
• training_metrics.json: finetuning metrics

Loading

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

repo_id = "CladeTeam/CENO-rice-cds"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo_id, trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo_id, trust_remote_code=True)

The model code depends on PyTorch and the Mamba/Triton stack used by Nemotron-H. The bundled config sets use_mamba_kernels=false, using the pure-PyTorch Mamba fallback so no mamba-ssm/causal-conv1d install is required.

Training

Finetuned for 1 epoch on rice CDS with learning_rate=5e-5, effective_batch_size=64, bf16, max_length=8192.

Intended Use

These models are released to reproduce HTT/polyQ sequence scoring experiments. The average log-likelihood scores reflect sequence-model likelihood, not biological fitness or pathogenicity.
