 Update: <a href="https://github.com/jstjohn">John St. John</a> did some work and found that the `enformer-official-rough` model hits the reported marks in the paper - human pearson R of `0.625` for validation, and `0.65` for test.
 
+Update: As of version 0.8.0, if one were to use the `from_pretrained` function to load the pretrained model, it should automatically use precomputed gamma positions to address a difference between tensorflow and pytorch `xlogy`. This should resolve the numerical discrepancy above. If you were to further finetune and not be using the `from_pretrained` function, please make sure to set `use_tf_gamma = True` when using `.from_hparams` to instantiate the `Enformer`
