arXiv:2606. 11559v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning typically improves multi-turn agent capabilities through the terminal outcome of the trajectories, which makes it difficult to determine credit assignments for each intermediate turns.
Enabling agents to learn from experience and internalize it into their policy has become a central problem in self-evolving AI. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) offers an effective pathway by using a privileged self-teacher to provide dense supervision on the student's own trajectories; however, existing methods still rely heavily on designer-specified privileged artifacts (e.

Online training enables computer-use agents (CUAs) to improve through interaction with executable environments. However, existing methods primarily rely on sparse outcome rewards, which provide no sup...
ComputerSD is an online self‑distillation method for computer‑use agents that leverages real‑time feedback from executed GUI transitions. It uses a fine‑tuned GUI analyzer to generate guidance and a step‑level value score after each action, combining token‑level OPSD with trajectory‑level GRPO in an asynchronous training framework. On the OSWorld‑Verified benchmark, ComputerSD improves performance over outcome‑only GRPO by 1.9 and 4.1 percentage points on Qwen3‑VL‑8B‑Thinking and EvoCUA‑8B backbones, and shows strong generalizability in out‑of‑distribution tests.

RetireOPD introduces a self-retiring on‑policy distillation method for agentic reinforcement learning. It first trains a skill‑conditioned teacher with environment rewards, then jointly trains a skill‑free student with RL and OPD, allowing the student to autonomously stop using the teacher when its performance aligns with the teacher’s. Experiments on Qwen2.5 models show significant gains in ALFWorld success rates and WebShop accuracy compared to RL baselines and the teacher itself.
