arXiv:2607. 07050v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Top-K teacher logits make on-policy distillation tractable, but probability mass is not the same as decision support.
arXiv:2607. 07050v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agentic language models must learn when to call tools, when to consume tool responses, and when to answer directly.
arXiv:2607. 07050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic language models must learn when to call tools, when to consume tool responses, and when to answer directly.
arXiv:2605. 31191v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate how teacher-student capacity relationships modulate knowledge distillation (KD) effectiveness in ResNet-based image classification on CIFAR-10.
Agentic language models must learn when to call tools, when to consume tool responses, and when to answer directly. This makes multi-teacher on-policy distillation a natural training strategy: one teacher can specialize in tool calls, another in direct responses, and the student can learn from both on its own generated distribution.
arXiv:2608. 14647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dirty-history rollouts make multi-turn on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) brittle: once a student emits an erroneous intermediate reply, later turns are conditioned on that reply, and uniform distillation can spend loss on tokens that carry little corrective signal.
arXiv:2608. 09826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards yields no group-relative signal when rollout groups are uniformly correct or uniformly wrong, which account for 63.
arXiv:2607. 16955v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy knowledge distillation transfers reasoning from large teachers to compact students, but existing approaches suffer three compounding failure modes: (i) cold-start collapse, where a fresh student assigns near-zero mass to teacher-preferred tokens; (ii) state-agnostic divergence scheduling, where time-only forward/reverse-KL interpolation ignores the student's coverage state; and (iii) binary reward sparsity, where pass/fail signals discard information from partially correct traces.
arXiv:2608. 09447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) aligns a student with a teacher on trajectories sampled from the student itself, reducing the train-test state mismatch of offline distillation.
arXiv:2607. 17136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic computer-use RL is reported in single runs, and those numbers mislead.
arXiv:2605. 11458v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy self-distillation has become a strong recipe for LLM reasoning, where a privileged teacher supervises the student's own rollouts while conditioning on the reference solution.
arXiv:2606. 29476v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-distilled agentic reinforcement learning augments trajectory-level reward with a token-level distillation loss, using as its teacher the same policy conditioned on privileged context.
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards yields no group-relative signal when rollout groups are uniformly correct or uniformly wrong, which account for 63. 0-68.
