evo2

evo2 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from naity/FM4Life. It costs 153 tokens per session (2,860 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A DNA language model that reads and generates genomic sequences one DNA letter at a time, including sequences from many forms of life.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score variant effects, create DNA embeddings, analyze mutations, measure sequence uncertainty, inspect unusual regions, or design genomic sequences.
Why use it?
It helps analyze mutations and unusual regions of DNA and can suggest new sequences without requiring a separate model for each task.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

evo2 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/embed.py, scripts/score_variants.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Evo2: Genome-Scale DNA Foundation Model

Overview

Evo2 is a DNA language model from Arc Institute that operates at single-nucleotide resolution with up to 1 million base pair context. It is trained on 8.8 trillion tokens from OpenGenome2 — sequences spanning all domains of life.

This is a DNA model, not a protein model. Input is raw nucleotide sequence (A/C/G/T). For protein tasks, use ESM2 or ESM-C instead.

Core capabilities:

  • Variant effect scoring — zero-shot log-likelihood scoring of SNPs, indels, regulatory variants
  • Sequence embeddings — genomic representations for downstream ML (classification, regression)
  • Sequence generation — autoregressive DNA sequence design from a prompt
  • Positional entropy — per-nucleotide uncertainty across a sequence
  • Perplexity analysis — sliding window perplexity for detecting unusual regions

Architecture: StripedHyena 2 — hybrid attention + gated convolutions. Not a standard Transformer. Attention only at layers 3, 10, 17, 24, 31; the rest are Hyena convolution blocks.

Installation

# Full install (all models including 20B/40B)
conda install -c nvidia cuda-nvcc cuda-cudart-dev
conda install -c conda-forge transformer-engine-torch=2.3.0
pip install flash-attn==2.8.0.post2 --no-build-isolation
pip install evo2

# Light install (7B models only — no FP8 required)
pip install flash-attn==2.8.0.post2 --no-build-isolation
pip install evo2

Requirements: Python 3.11–3.12, CUDA 12.1+, Linux (WSL2 with caveats).

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

evo2 is a skill published in the GitHub repository naity/FM4Life (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 153 tokens to every session and 2,860 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
