What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Now peer-reviewed (Nature, March 2026) with very-high adoption (>100k model downloads, >8M combined HF API requests, >200 preprint citations), but the strongest contradicting evidence (systematic generation failures) is a bioRxiv preprint, so generative use is not yet trustworthy while predictive use is solid.
Next
Pilot Evo 2 only for variant-effect prediction/scoring (its validated strength, >90% accuracy on BRCA1 benign-vs-pathogenic) on an internal benchmark; do NOT rely on de novo sequence generation until realism gaps close. Budget H100/BioNeMo-class inference.
