Helical lets you run bio foundation models on your own single-cell data, from the chat you're already in.
Upload an .h5ad dataset into your private Helical project, pick a model (scGPT, Geneformer, TranscriptFormer, Cell2Sentence or Nicheformer) and compute embeddings on Helical's GPUs. Follow the run while it goes, read the error if it fails, and download the embeddings when it finishes.
Nothing starts on its own. A run is priced and queued first, and only begins once you approve it in a second, separate step. Every tool works inside the one project your account owns.
Compute is pay-as-you-go. Each model has a published per-cell rate, runs are billed per processed cell, and you top up a prepaid credit balance on helical.bio. There is no subscription.
Requirements: a Helical account with a credit balance. You sign in through your browser the first time you connect.
Pair it with the Helical Platform plugin for guided workflows: computing embeddings, checking credits, and running the open-source helical package on your own GPU.
