TranscriptFormer and rBio (CZI virtual cell models)
CZI's open cross-species cell models and a reasoning model trained on them.
TranscriptFormer (2025) trained on 112M cells across 12 species; rBio uses virtual cell model outputs as a teacher for an LLM that reasons about gene perturbations.
How it works
TranscriptFormer is a generative transformer over cells, distilled into an LLM.
- Open, cross-species
