Highly accurate biomolecular structure prediction is a key component of developing biomolecular foundation models, and one of the most critical aspects of building foundation models is identifying the recipes for scaling the model. In this work, we present SeedFold, a folding model that successfully scales up the model capacity. Our contributions are threefold: first, we identify an effective width-scaling strategy for the Pairformer to increase representation capacity; second, we introduce a novel linear triangular attention that reduces computational complexity to enable efficient scaling; finally, we construct a large-scale distillation dataset to substantially enlarge the training set. Experiments on FoldBench show that SeedFold outperforms AlphaFold3 on most protein-related tasks.
