CellFM is an 800-million-parameter single-cell model trained on 100 million human cells.
CellFM is a single-cell foundation model from a Chinese consortium, a transformer with efficient attention over gene tokens that scales to 800 million parameters, among the largest single-cell models by parameter count. The 2024 bioRxiv preprint trained it on 100 million human cells and reported gains on cell-type annotation and perturbation prediction tasks. It is a research model for computational biologists exploring whether scale alone improves single-cell prediction. Independent evaluation is limited, and the wider field has found that many single-cell foundation models barely beat simple baselines on perturbation tasks, so its reported gains need external replication. For a newcomer: CellFM is one of the biggest models of its kind, but outsiders have not yet confirmed how much the extra size helps.
