arXiv:2607. 20918v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Omni-modal models can handle text, images, and audio in one system, but improving all of these abilities together remains difficult.
arXiv:2605. 03677v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently emerged as an effective post-training paradigm for consolidating the capabilities of specialized expert models into a single student model.
arXiv:2606. 05718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) improves reasoning by training a student on trajectories sampled from its own policy under supervision from a teacher.
arXiv:2608. 05131v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) has become a standard post-training approach for improving visual reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs).
Unified multimodal models (UMMs) interleave generated ''visual thoughts'' (VTs) with text reasoning to improve spatial tasks. This incurs roughly an order-of-magnitude inference cost from multi-step diffusion.
arXiv:2607. 26246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD), which aligns a student with the teacher's token-level distribution on the student's own rollouts, is an effective paradigm for transferring capabilities across LLMs.
arXiv:2607. 02592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently emerged as an effective post-training paradigm by providing supervision on student-generated trajectories.
Cross-modal knowledge distillation (CMKD) studies how a (large) teacher model trained on one type of data (e. g.
arXiv:2402. 14035v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation from foundation models to compact domain models is challenging due to substantial gaps in capacity, architecture, and modality.
On-policy Distillation (OPD) supervises a student model on trajectories sampled from its own policy by minimizing the divergence between the output distributions of the teacher and student at each token position, thereby providing dense token-level supervision. Although existing OPD methods have demonstrated strong performance in improving the reasoning ability of student models, their objectives fundamentally rely on token-level distribution matching.
arXiv:2607. 08839v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are typically designed under the assumption that all modalities available during training will also be accessible at inference.
arXiv:2412. 01282v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) bring powerful understanding and reasoning capabilities to multimodal tasks.
arXiv:2607. 18293v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) teaches large language models new skills through a teacher that shares the student's backbone and supervises its own rollouts.
