## Usage

For instructions to run the model, please refer to our repository.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
While our models are designed for research and drug discovery applications, 
they come with ethical and safety considerations:

1. **Potential for Misuse:** Although the model is not explicitly designed to generate toxic,
controlled, or harmful compounds, adversarial prompts or unintended biases in the pretrained model 
may lead to the generation of undesirable molecules.
2. **Unintended Harmful Outputs:** The model does not inherently filter out molecules with high toxicity, 
abuse potential, or environmental hazards. Users must implement additional safeguards to prevent misuse.
3. **Absence of Built-in Safety Mechanisms:** The model does not incorporate explicit regulatory or 
safety filters (e.g., toxicity or compliance checks). 
It is the responsibility of users to validate generated molecules for safety and ethical considerations.

We urge users to adopt best practices, including toxicity prediction pipelines, 
ethical oversight, and responsible AI usage policies, to prevent harmful applications of this model.
