A 7B language model for DNA that reads sequences up to 1 million letters long, from the Arc Institute's Evo 2 family. Made for researchers who work with genome data and want a mid-size checkpoint. evo2\_7b is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by arcinstitute ## About ### What it is evo2\_7b is the 7B checkpoint of Evo 2, a language model for DNA from the Arc Institute. It learns DNA the way a text model learns words, by predicting what comes next, after training on trillions of DNA tokens. This checkpoint has 32 layers and was trained on sequences up to 1 million long. ### Who it suits It suits researchers and developers who work with DNA sequences and want a model that is smaller than the 40B checkpoint but still handles extra long inputs. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Genomics | Researchers | Study how a model reads long DNA sequences | Feed a long sequence and inspect the output | | Biotech | Data scientists | Build tools on top of a DNA language model | Wrap the model in a research pipeline | | AI research | ML engineers | Compare model sizes on sequence tasks | Test the 7B checkpoint against the 1B base | | Education | Students | Learn how language models treat biological data | Run a small sequence through the model | If you need a model that chats or writes prose, you can skip it, since it works on DNA sequences. ### Where to use it It runs in Python on your own computer. The card sends you to the Evo 2 GitHub project and its paper for instructions, details and examples. - Python scripts built on the Evo 2 project code - Research notebooks and sequence analysis pipelines - Windows, macOS or Linux for the download step | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Sequence modeling | Researchers | Model output for a DNA sequence you provide | | Model comparison | Engineers | A mid-size reference point between 1B and 40B | | Long-input tests | Scientists | A test of reading sequences up to 1 million long | ### How to set it up You need Python and the Hugging Face hub tools. The model page gives no hardware needs or install steps, so take those from the Evo 2 GitHub project. 1. Install the Hugging Face hub tools. 2. Download the checkpoint files. 3. Get the Evo 2 code from GitHub and follow its instructions. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download arcinstitute/evo2_7b ``` ### How to use it Use the Evo 2 project's own code to load the checkpoint and pass in a DNA sequence. The page shown has no run command, so the exact call comes from that project. | Checkpoint | Layers | Parameters | | --- | --- | --- | | evo2\_40b | 50 | 40B | | evo2\_7b | 32 | 7B | | evo2\_40b\_base | 50 | 40B | | evo2\_7b\_base | 32 | 7B | | evo2\_1b\_base | 25 | 1B | ### Example You load evo2\_7b with the Evo 2 project's code and give it a DNA sequence. The model returns its predictions for the sequence. The card shows no sample output, so results come from your own run. ### For newcomers and experts A DNA language model treats a genome like text and learns the patterns in it. Begin with the project's examples before using your own data. The two large checkpoints, evo2\_40b and evo2\_7b, were trained up to 1 million sequence length. The base checkpoints in 40B, 7B and 1B sizes were trained on a shorter 8192 context length. Get a DNA sequence → Load the checkpoint with the Evo 2 code → The model reads the sequence → You inspect its predictions ### Good to know Evo 2 comes in several sizes, and this page is the 7B one with the long context.
