Release 2.0.0
Summary
This major release introduces support for loading custom and fine-tuned checkpoints, enabling users to leverage their own model weights or community-provided variants. The internal implementation of NIM has migrated to the NVIDIA BioNeMo Framework, providing unified training and inference code bases and standardized checkpoint formats.
Thanks to the migration to the BioNeMo Framework, new Evo 2 NIM release delivers up to 30% faster inference workflows compared to the 1.x series.
Important: Due to the change in internal model representation, model layer
names and parameter shapes have changed. As a result, /forward API calls are
not backward-compatible with 1.x releases.
