Release Notes

Release 1.0.1

Summary

This is a minor update that includes the following changes:

• The input prompt is now automatically converted to uppercase internally, helping to prevent the common mistake of supplying lowercase DNA sequences to the model.

• For non-recoverable errors, such as unrecoverable memory ECC errors, the health endpoint will now reflect the error status. This allows cloud infrastructure to redeploy the instance to healthy hardware.

Model Variant

• Evo 2 40B 1M

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. Older GPUs are not currently supported.

Ensure you always use the benchmarking suite so that the deployed model works as expected.
