An Open Genomic Foundation Commons
Provocation: treat genomic foundation models as shared scientific infrastructure. A governed commons could hold weights, training code, curated sequences, evaluation assays, and responsible-use controls, giving neglected organisms and diseases the kind of durable research capacity that commercial demand alone is unlikely to finance.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
Evo 2 released weights, code, and a large curated dataset; NIH Bridge2AI is building reusable multimodal data and a health-science safety network.
