The vLLM and Transformers route runs the repository's tokenizer.py through trust_remote_code, and the llama.cpp GGUF route runs none. Hugging Face reports its own dual-use check without numbers, and gives general cautions only. The card says it isn't clinically validated, no wet-lab validation is reported, and its DNA benchmark figures are Hugging Face's claims. Hugging Face's security.txt is a reporting route.

The same day the card gained a line saying llama.cpp is unsupported, while the publisher's GGUF repository targets llama.cpp b11742 and says older builds tokenize DNA wrongly. The one discussion so far was answered the same morning. The card says the model isn't clinically validated.

The card documents it as a tool other agents call, with examples and a skill. Answers are free text with DNA in tags. Nobody independent has benchmarked it, its DNA results are Hugging Face's claims, and the card says it isn't clinically validated, with no wet-lab validation.

Hugging Face's own GGUFs run from 9.64 GB at Q4_K_M to 15.76 GB at Q8_0, which the GGUF card puts at about 16 GB plus 0.16 MB of KV cache per token. BF16 is 29.64 GB. llama.cpp needs b11742 or later, though the main card still calls it unsupported. No inference provider or Hugging Face API serves it.
