arXiv:2607. 05804v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student policy by matching a stronger teacher on the student's own trajectories, offering a promising framework for language agent training.
arXiv:2606. 27814v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Training small language-model agents for long-horizon interactive tasks requires both fast imitation and reward-driven improvement.

arXiv:2606. 15912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn agents that plan, invoke tools, and interact with environments offer a promising paradigm for solving complex tasks, yet their capabilities typically rely on very large models whose inference cost is prohibitive in practice.
arXiv:2608. 16333v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) aligns a student model with a teacher's logit distribution on student-generated trajectories.
arXiv:2607. 24720v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn long-horizon planning is critical for foundation model agents, yet how to fundamentally improve it remains unclear.
Multi-turn long-horizon planning is critical for foundation model agents, yet how to fundamentally improve it remains unclear. Existing models are trained on uncontrollable and opaque Internet data, making it difficult to identify how planning ability is acquired, shaped, and integrated.
arXiv:2607. 06223v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning has become a promising paradigm for improving large language model (LLM) agents on long-horizon search tasks, where the agent must make a sequence of intermediate decisions before receiving a final outcome.
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.
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:2604. 10688v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: On-policy reinforcement learning has become the dominant paradigm for reasoning alignment in large language models, yet its sparse, outcome-level rewards make token-level credit assignment notoriously difficult.
We study on-policy distillation (OPD) for agentic tasks, where an LLM agent interacts with an environment over multiple turns and a student imitates a teacher over these multi-turn interaction histories. Fully online OPD is costly because each update requires fresh student rollouts through the environment and teacher queries at visited histories.
arXiv:2607. 24522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While on-policy distillation (OPD) effectively addresses sparse rewards and exposure bias in large language model post-training, its extension to flow models remains underexplored.
