Fold2Reason shows protein folding data can improve broad reasoning.
- Post-training on FoldingCorpus raises macro-average accuracy from 45.09% to 48.33% across 10 reasoning benchmarks
- Structure prediction improves 2.7–3.5×
The paper offers empirical evidence that scientific-domain post-training can transfer into general reasoning gains.
