Post-training stages critically shape biological reasoning models, study finds

A new study has investigated how different post-training stages impact the performance and generalization capabilities of biological reasoning models. Researchers trained over 100 models across genomics, transcriptomics, and protein domains, varying parameters like continued pre-training (CPT), supervised fine-tuning (SFT), and reinforcement learning (RL). The findings indicate that each training stage uniquely influences generalization, with CPT aligning models to biological language, SFT boosting in-domain performance at the cost of out-of-domain generalization, and RL improving out-of-domain capabilities when applied to strong SFT checkpoints.

    How Post-Training Shapes Biological Reasoning Models

    Scientific reasoning models for biology combine language models with foundation models trained on multimodal biological data, including DNA, RNA, and proteins. These models are built through post-training, yet how each stage shapes reasoning and generalization remains poorly unde…
