Evo 2 as a classification machine: evidence from in-context learning and mechanistic interpretability

This paper evaluates Evo 2's in-context learning capabilities on genomic sequences, finding strong performance on short sequences but degradation with length, and no benefit from model scaling.

Evo 2's Perception of Single Nucleotide Substitutions in the Genes of Two Plant Model Organisms

Evo 2 7B assigns higher perplexity to plant gene alleles carrying randomly simulated single-nucleotide substitutions than to those observed in vivo, in Arabidopsis and rice; significant but small effect.
