Researchers have developed ProteinOPD, a new framework for aligning protein language models (PLMs) with desired functions. This method adapts pretrained PLMs into specialized teachers and distills their knowledge into a student model using a technique called On-Policy Distillation. ProteinOPD aims to balance multiple objectives without sacrificing the model's inherent designability and reportedly achieves an 8x training speedup compared to reinforcement learning alternatives.
