Protein language models (PLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for controllable biomolecular design, yet their post-training adaptation typically relies on costly wet-lab validation or curated preference datasets. To overcome this supervision bottleneck, we introduce unsupervised reward optimization of PLMs, a comprehensive framework for steerable protein generation without ground-truth labels.

arXiv:2606. 02386v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein language models (PLMs) are passive oracles: they generate sequences in a single forward pass with no mechanism to consult external biophysical feedback or redirect generation when a candidate violates thermodynamic or structural constraints.
