The source checkpoint is gs://marin-us-east5/checkpoints/dna-bolinas-mix-v0.9-p1B-i24-exp135-zoonomia-m5.1-bef41e/hf/step-59158. The commit-pinned training script defines the experiment.

Loading

python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

repo_id = "marin-dna/marin-dna-exp135-m5.1"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo_id)

The float32 checkpoint is approximately 4.18 GiB. Convert or load it in a lower-precision dtype only if that is appropriate for your downstream use.

Tokenizer and input format

The bundled tokenizer is a case-insensitive, single-nucleotide tokenizer with seven tokens:

Table with columns: Token, ID
Token	ID
`[PAD]`	0
`[UNK]`	1
`[BOS]`	2
`a`	3
`c`	4
`g`	5

Pass raw DNA strings containing A, C, G, and T without spaces or separators. The tokenizer lowercases input and automatically prepends [BOS]; the model has no EOS token and the tokenizer does not append one. Characters outside the four canonical bases map to [UNK]. Because BOS occupies one of the 256 model positions, inputs are limited to 255 DNA bases.

Training lineage and data

m5.1 is a continued-training lineage with approximately 166.0B total inherited and newly seen nucleotide tokens:

approximately 42.0B inherited tokens from the pre-cooldown point of a uniform three-region mixture (CDS, upstream, and downstream);
approximately 62.0B tokens from a continued uniform three-region mixture; and
approximately 62.0B tokens from a uniform five-region mixture adding enhancer and ncRNA sequence.

The five-region inventory below describes the resources used across the m5.1 lineage. It does not mean that all five datasets contributed to every training phase.
