OPD‑Aha is a privileged on‑policy distillation method that improves multimodal reasoning by reconstructing the distillation target from the teacher’s isolated visual preference instead of relying on fragile teacher‑student discrepancies. It suppresses continuations that contradict the image, encouraging students to interrupt flawed reasoning with reflection tokens such as "wait" and "actually." This approach leads to consistent improvements across fine‑grained perception and complex multimodal reasoning benchmarks.

UniEvo‑VL is a self‑evolving framework that lets multimodal models improve themselves by using their own critiques as privileged information. The method trains a single model to act as both teacher and student, minimizing divergence between their diffusion distributions over sampling trajectories. Experiments on Qwen‑image‑2512 show significant gains in image generation metrics, and stronger external critics further raise the improvement ceiling, though results vary across tasks.
