We present T ^\star , a simple TraceRL-based curriculum for progressive block-size scaling in masked diffusion language models (MDMs).Starting from an AR-initialized small-block MDM, T ^\star gradually increases the block size while re-optimizing the denoising policy at each stage, enabling highe...

Designing proteins that satisfy natural language functional requirements is a central goal in protein engineering. A straightforward baseline is to fine-tune generic instruction-tuned LLMs as direct text-to-sequence generators, but this is data- and compute-hungry. With limited supervision, LLMs...
