VenusGenome-1.05B is a 44-layer, width-1408 genome encoder with 1,048,191,308 parameters. It contextualizes ordered gene-level protein representations and returns 1408-dimensional gene- and genome-level embeddings.

This path matches GFF CDS features to FAA proteins, generates per-protein ESM-2 esm2_t12_35M_UR50D representations, and runs VenusGenome. Precomputed [n_genes, 480] protein embeddings can still be passed to encode_genome. The model returns gene_level, mean_pool, and global_token arrays. Genomes longer than 4096 genes are processed in contiguous chunks.

This repository contains encoder-only BF16 safetensors from the mask-75% pretraining run at step 40,000. Decoder and optimizer state are not included. The architecture is recorded in config.json, and SHA256SUMS records the weight checksum.

The model does not consume raw nucleotide sequence directly. Its outputs depend on upstream gene calling, genomic ordering, and ESM-2 protein embeddings. Chunking removes attention across chunk boundaries. Evaluate performance on the target organism distribution and downstream task.

The current repository has no declared open-source model-weight license.
