Berkeley's genome model buys accuracy with alignments instead of parameters

GPN-Star folds whole-genome alignments and a species tree into its architecture, which is how it trains in hours where Evo 2 needed 2,000 processors and months. The cost of building those alignments sits outside that comparison.
