Looking for new ways to tap into cleaner energy sources? Researchers have come up with a clever method to extract natural gas from underwater hydrate reservoirs by using geothermal energy. Could this be the key to more efficient and affordable energy production? Dive into the full story to find out!

Introducing Genos, an open genomic foundation model for high-quality human genomes across global populations, built to advance understanding of the genome and its diversity. Genos achieves single-nucleotide precision over a context of 1 million bases and uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture that is practical to deploy and economical to run. We provide two variants, 10B and 1.2B, so teams can match compute and latency needs. Trained on 636 high-quality assemblies representing diverse ancestries, with ~1.6T training tokens for the 1.2B model and ~2.2T for the 10B model, Genos learns the genome itself and generalizes to population-scale analyses. With efficient routing and scalable inference, Genos connects sequence to function and powers tools for discovery and diagnostics, and a complementary 4B multimodal language model pairs genomic signals with text to enable omics-aware reasoning in those tools. Explore code, weights, and docs on GitHub, Hugging Face, ModelScope, and zero2x.
