Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface HazyResearch/hyena-dna, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Clarify README H1 to explicitly state official implementation
Why:
CURRENT# HyenaDNA
COPY-PASTE FIX# HyenaDNA: Official Implementation for Long-Range Genomic Foundation Models
- mediumreadme#2Strengthen README intro to highlight pretraining/fine-tuning for genomics
Why:
CURRENTWelcome to the HyenaDNA repo! HyenaDNA is a long-range genomic foundation model pretrained on context lengths of up to \1 million tokens**\* at \single nucleotide resolution**\*. The repo is a work in progress, but we're very excited to get this in the hands of researchers, so bare with us :) This repo is best suited for those who want to pretrain a HyenaDNA model, or try one of the downstream tasks from the paper.
COPY-PASTE FIXWelcome to the **official HyenaDNA repository**, providing the implementation for our long-range genomic foundation model. HyenaDNA is pretrained on context lengths of up to 1 million tokens at single nucleotide resolution, making it ideal for advanced genomics research. This repository is specifically designed for researchers and practitioners looking to **pretrain a HyenaDNA model** or **fine-tune it for various downstream genomic tasks**.
- lowreadme#3Add a 'Comparison with Alternatives' section to README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison with Alternatives HyenaDNA distinguishes itself from models like GenSLM, Nucleotide Transformer, and DNABERT by leveraging the Hyena architecture. This enables it to efficiently process significantly longer DNA sequences (up to millions of base pairs) with sub-quadratic computational complexity, overcoming the quadratic scaling limitations of standard Transformer models and allowing for more comprehensive genomic analysis.
