# Release Notes

## February 18, 2025

## Release 1.0.0

### Summary

This is the first release of Evo 2 NIM. Evo 2 is a biological foundation model
that is able to integrate information over long genomic sequences, while
retaining sensitivity to single-nucleotide changes.

This release features 40 billion parameters model trained on 11 trillion DNA
nucleotides with context-length of up to 1 million DNA nucleotides.

### Model Variant

* Evo 2 40B 1M

### Notes and Limitations

Ensure you use this model with GPUs that have FP8 support, such as NVIDIA H100,
NVIDIA H200, or newer. For more information, see [Prerequisites and Support Matrix for Evo2 NIM](/nim/bionemo/evo2/1.0.0/prerequisites). Older GPUs are not currently
supported.

Ensure you always use the [benchmarking](/nim/bionemo/evo2/1.0.0/benchmarking) suite so that the
deployed model works as expected.
