+summary: "A foundation model for single-cell biology (CZ Benchmarks implementation)"
+description: |
+  scGPT is a foundation model for single-cell biology based on a generative
+  pre-trained transformer and trained on a repository of over 33 million cells.
+
+  Here, we use zero-shot output from a pre-trained model to get an integrated
+  embedding for the batch integration task.
