PlasmidGPT-SFT

PlasmidGPT-SFT

Supervised fine-tune of PlasmidGPT on a curated corpus of ~15k engineered E. coli plasmids from PlasmidScope and Addgene (Cunningham et al., 2025). Used as a baseline for the GRPO-trained PlasmidGPT-GRPO.

Quick start

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("UCL-CSSB/PlasmidGPT-SFT")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("UCL-CSSB/PlasmidGPT-SFT")

input_ids = tokenizer("ATG", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
outputs = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=512, do_sample=True, temperature=1.0)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
