Generalized Proximal Policy Optimization: Unifying LLM RL Algorithms from the Perspective of Divergence

Reinforcement learning has become the foundational paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of LLMs. Yet the dominant approach, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), relies on a geometrically degenerate clipping proxy that cannot adapt its resistance to policy shifts, leading to premature clipping and degraded e...

Flow-Matching-Based Protein Structure Tokenizer Made Efficient and Easy

This study conducts extensive evaluations across a wide range of settings and demonstrates that ProFiT is a plug-and-play tokenizer adaptable to diverse downstream tasks and further reveals the significant potential of the flow matching tokenizer paradigm.

PFArena: Benchmarking Language Models for Protein Modification

The evaluation reveals that model performance shifts systematically with the availability of target-specific experimental evidence: PLMs demonstrate proficiency in open-ended single-mutant generation by leveraging protein-specific priors, whereas LLMs and agents perform strongly in multi-mutant ranking, particularly wh...

Weak-to-Strong Generalization via Direct On-Policy Distillation

Direct On-Policy Distillation (Direct-OPD) is proposed, which transfers the teacher's RL-induced policy shift instead of running sparse-reward RL on the target model and consistently leverages weaker teachers to improve stronger target models.

Spectral Rewiring for Exploration, Purification, and Model Merging

Subspace-Aligned Rewiring (SAR) shows that extracting reasoning-effective updates from parameter geometry can serve as a training-free mechanism to improve reasoning and multi-domain performance.

Open-MOPD: Diagnosing and Fixing Capability Imbalance in Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation

Open-MOPD, a principled framework incorporating token-share balancing, gap-aware dynamic budget allocation, and student reward refresh, systematically restore cross-domain balance, elevating headroom recovery from 35.6% to 83.4% in a single deployable student.
