 ## **Safety Considerations**
 
-- **Purpose and Capabilities**: Unlike models aimed at long-sequence generation, METAGENE-1 is optimized for detecting anomalies in short metagenomic reads (100-300 base pairs) and is limited by its 512-token context length, minimizing design misuse.
-- **Open Source Impact**: We believe open-sourcing METAGENE-1 will positively impact research in pathogen monitoring, but we advocate for stricter safety evaluations before releasing more capable future models.
+**METAGENE-1** provides valuable capabilities for biosurveillance and genomic anomaly detection, showing state-of-the-art results on a broad coverage of benchmarks. While its current version poses minimal risk, we carefully weighed its benefits against potential misuse, particularly in synthetic biology, and emphasize the need for stricter safety considerations for future, more capable models.

+- **Purpose and Capabilities**: **METAGENE-1** is specifically optimized to detect anomalies in short metagenomic reads (100-300 base pairs), making it well-suited for tasks like pathogen detection and biosurveillance. The model’s architectural constraints, such as its 512-token context length, limit its applicability to complex sequence design tasks, reducing misuse risks.
+- **Open Source Impact**: We believe the open release of **METAGENE-1** will foster research in pathogen detection and biosurveillance by providing a valuable tool for scientists. However, we emphasize the need for more rigorous safety evaluations before open-sourcing larger or more capable genomic models in the future.
