-# Tahoe-x1
 
-Tahoe-x1 is a family of perturbation-trained single-cell foundation models  developed by Tahoe Therapeutics.
-For more details, see our blog post and [📄 preprint](http://www.tahoebio.ai/news/tahoe-x1).
-In this repository, we provide pretrained weights for three model sizes:
+# Tahoe-x1
 
-- ~70M parameters (TahoeX1-70M)
-- ~1B parameters (TahoeX1-1B)
-- ~3B parameters (TahoeX1-3B)
-![Abstract Logo](https://huggingface.co/tahoebio/tahoe-x1/resolve/main/assets/abstract_logo_light_mode.png)
+Tahoe-x1 is a family of perturbation-trained single-cell foundation models with up to 3 billion parameters, developed by Tahoe Therapeutics. Pretrained on 266 million single-cell transcriptomic profiles including the _Tahoe-100M_ perturbation compendium, Tahoe-x1 achieves state-of-the-art performance on cancer-relevant tasks with 3–30× higher compute efficiency than prior implementations.
 
-## Installation

-1. Clone the repository:
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1
-   cd tahoe-x1
-   ```
+## Model Sizes
 
-2. Follow the installation steps for the docker or uv based insallation as described [here](https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1#installation) in the repository
+We provide pretrained weights for three model sizes:
 
-Additional files (including vocabulary files and data for the included benchmarks) are hosted on S3 in a publicly accesible bucket (s3://tahoe-hackathon-data/MFM). These files will be automatically downloaded as needed.
+- **Tx1-70M**: ~70M parameters, 1024 context length
+- **Tx1-1B**: ~1.3B parameters, 2048 context length
+- **Tx1-3B**: ~3B parameters, 2048 context length
 
 ## Quickstart
-You can quickly load the model in this way:
+
+Load a model directly from Hugging Face and generate cell embeddings:
 
 ```python
 from tahoex.model import ComposerTX
+import scanpy as sc
 
-model, vocab, model_config, collator_config = ComposerTX.from_hf(
-    repo_id="tahoebio/tahoe-x1",
-    model_size="70m",  # or "1b", "3b".
+# Load model from Hugging Face in a single line
+# Options: "70m", "1b", or "3b"
+model, vocab, model_cfg, collator_cfg = ComposerTX.from_hf(
+    repo_id="tahoebio/Tahoe-x1",
+    model_size="3b",
     return_gene_embeddings=True,  # optional, default True
     use_chem_inf=False  # optional, default False
 )
+
+# Load your single-cell data
+adata = sc.read_h5ad("your_data.h5ad")
+
+# Generate embeddings (see tutorials for full example)
+# Cell embeddings are stored in adata.obsm
+```
+
+### Installation
+
+To use the models, install the `tahoex` package from GitHub:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1
+cd tahoe-x1
+
+# Install using Docker (recommended) or uv
+# See installation guide: https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1#installation
+```
+
+**Docker installation** provides better reproducibility and is recommended for the best experience. For native installation, use `uv` or `pip` for dependency management.
+
+Model checkpoints and configs are automatically downloaded from this Hugging Face repository when using `ComposerTX.from_hf()`. Training data is hosted publicly on S3 (s3://tahoe-hackathon-data/MFM) and will be downloaded as needed.
+
+## Tutorials
+
+Please refer to the tutorials in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1/tree/main/tutorials) for detailed examples:
+
+| Tutorial | Description | Link |
+|----------|-------------|------|
+| **Clustering Tutorial** | Cell clustering and UMAP visualization with Tahoe-x1 embeddings | [clustering_tutorial.ipynb](https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1/blob/main/tutorials/clustering_tutorial.ipynb) |
+| **Training Tutorial** | Step-by-step guide to training and fine-tuning Tahoe-x1 models | [training_tutorial.ipynb](https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1/blob/main/tutorials/training_tutorial.ipynb) |
+
+## Generating Cell and Gene Embeddings
+
+### Using Configuration Files
+
+1. Create a configuration file (see `scripts/inference/configs/predict.yaml` in the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1)):
+```yaml
+# Key configuration options:
+#   - paths.hf_repo_id: Hugging Face repository (tahoebio/Tahoe-x1)
+#   - paths.hf_model_size: model size (70m, 1b, or 3b)
+#   - paths.adata_output: where to save AnnData output including embeddings
+#   - predict.return_gene_embeddings: True (for extracting gene embeddings)
+```
+
+2. Run the embedding script:
+```bash
+python scripts/inference/predict_embeddings.py path/to/config.yaml
+
+# Optional: override config values via command line
+python scripts/inference/predict_embeddings.py path/to/config.yaml \
+    --paths.model_name=tx --batch_size=128
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+For memory-efficient gene embedding extraction, use the lower-level API:
+
+```python
+from tahoex.tasks import get_batch_embeddings
+
+cell_embs, gene_embs = get_batch_embeddings(
+    adata=adata,
+    model=model,
+    vocab=vocab,
+    model_cfg=model_cfg,
+    collator_cfg=collator_cfg,
+    return_gene_embeddings=True
+)
+```
+
+Cell embeddings are saved to `adata.obsm` and gene embeddings to `adata.varm` (if `return_gene_embeddings=True`).
+
+## Training and Fine-tuning
+
+Tahoe-x1 models can be trained from scratch or fine-tuned on your own data. See the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/tahoebio/tahoe-x1) for detailed instructions.
+
+### Quick Training Example
+
+```bash
+# Train from a configuration file
+composer scripts/train.py -f configs/test_run.yaml
+
+# Fine-tune from a pretrained checkpoint
+composer scripts/train.py -f configs/finetune_config.yaml \
+    --load_path s3://tahoe-hackathon-data/MFM/ckpts/3b/
 ```
