Hugging Face released Carbon-X, an AI model for DNA analysis and generation. It lets researchers ask questions in plain language and get predictions. The model can also generate new DNA sequences for gene therapy development. Carbon-X was trained on human, mammal, plant and fungi DNA. It runs on a researcher’s own computer to avoid sharing sensitive data. Viruses were excluded from its training data to prevent misuse. Hugging Face built it on the Qwen3-14B language model. The model is open-source. Hugging Face worked with labs in Italy and China on the project. It aims to reduce dependence on major AI labs for biology research.
