+    Carbon-3B is Hugging Face's 3B-parameter genomic foundation model for DNA

+    motif-perturbation analysis. It supports 32,768 tokens natively and uses a
+    hybrid tokenizer with 6-mer DNA tokens.
+
+    This default entry uses the Q4_K_M GGUF. A higher-quality Q8_0 build is
+    available as a variant. Prefix DNA sequences with `<dna>` and use uppercase
+    A, C, G, and T characters in groups of six.
