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.
