pooper-b6 (407M, 128 kb context)
A ~407M-parameter model that predicts 1,885 ENCODE signal tracks (ATAC-seq, DNase-seq, histone ChIP-seq, RNA-seq; GRCh38) at 1 bp resolution from a 131,072 bp DNA window. It uses an AlphaGenome-style backbone trained from random initialisation (no AlphaGenome pretrained weights) with a per-track linear head.
Training supervision comes from the Zipoop teacher shards: one over-fitted small "teacher" network per 32,768 bp window, each compressing that window's 1,885 tracks.
Model details
| Trainable parameters | 406,817,601 (the checkpoint also holds unused frozen AlphaGenome modules; 453M tensor parameters in total) |
| Input | 131,072 bp (4 x 32,768 bp windows) |
| Output | 1,885 tracks, 1 bp resolution |
| Loss | Pearson loss, plus a small (weight 0.1) scaled-space MSE term |
| Optimiser | lr peak 5e-4, 500 warm-up steps, cosine decay to 10%, bf16, seed 0 |
| Schedule | 20,000 steps, batch of 4 windows per step, gradient checkpointing |
| Training split | AlphaGenome fold0 split (63,946 train / 10,822 valid / 10,345 test windows), used only to keep evaluation comparable |
Training ran in two stages: steps 0-3,000 as the "B6" control experiment, then steps 3,000-20,000 resumed from that checkpoint with the cosine schedule re-laid for 20,000 total steps. Both logs are in repro/config/.
Results
Validation (fold0, per-window Pearson, from the training log, final step 20,000):
| Assay | Pearson | log1p 128 bp Pearson |
|---|---|---|
| ATAC | 0.674 | 0.611 |
| DNase | 0.653 | 0.635 |
| ChIP (histone) | 0.447 | 0.452 |
| RNA-seq | 0.290 | 0.558 |
| mean / balanced | 0.416 / 0.516 | - / 0.564 |
A sibling model with the same recipe (b8) was additionally evaluated with the AlphaGenome-style per-track pooled Pearson on 400 test windows; see the b8 repository.

Limitations
- Metrics above are validation-set numbers from the training log. An official-style fold1 test evaluation for b6 itself is not included here.
- RNA-seq and histone ChIP are clearly weaker than ATAC and DNase.
- This is a research prototype, not a validated tool for clinical or variant-effect use.
- The model was trained against Zipoop teacher shards; this card does not claim that scores reflect agreement with raw ENCODE signal.
- Results come from a single seed.
