# KRONOS — checkpoints

Trained weights for KRONOS, a latent autoregressive diffusion model for 3D molecule generation,
together with the Unified AutoEncoder (UAE) checkpoints its latent space is built on.

## Contents
```
uae_qm9/{last.ckpt, latent_stats.pth}          # autoencoder + latent statistics (QM9)
uae_geom/{last.ckpt, latent_stats.pth}         # autoencoder + latent statistics (GEOM-Drugs)
kronos-{qm9,geom}-layers{8,10,12,16}-heads{8,10,12,16}-d{512,640,768,1024}/manual_last.ckpt
```
The `layers16-heads16-d1024` checkpoints (283 M parameters) are the main models reported in the
paper; the three smaller ones are the scaling ablation.

## Usage

Download into the `checkpoints/` directory of the [code repository](https://github.com/fedeotto/kronos) — the checkpoints store
`vae_path = checkpoints/uae_{qm9,geom}/last.ckpt` internally, so the layout must be preserved.


```bash
python -m kronos.scripts.test \
    --model_path checkpoints/kronos-qm9-layers16-heads16-d1024 \
    --ckpt_name manual_last.ckpt --num_samples 10000 --sampler ddim
```
