arXiv:2606. 03620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-distilled policy optimization (SDPO) has become a popular paradigm for LLM post-training, where a model learns from its own predictions conditioned on privileged information.
arXiv:2608. 09745v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) converts feedback into dense token-level supervision on trajectories generated by the policy to be optimized, providing a useful complement to reinforcement learning with sparse outcome rewards.
arXiv:2607. 02502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) has emerged as a practical method for training large language models (LLMs) to reason, where a single model acts as both the teacher and the student with different levels of information access.
arXiv:2607. 18955v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has substantially improved the reasoning capabilities of large language models on tasks such as mathematical reasoning and code generation.
arXiv:2606. 04036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy self-distillation, where a language model conditions on privileged context to supervise its own generations, is a promising source of dense supervision for sparse-reward reinforcement learning.

arXiv:2606. 09091v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently emerged as an important post-training paradigm.
Continual post-training enables foundation models to acquire new knowledge while preserving existing capabilities. Recent work suggests that on-policy learning can mitigate forgetting, with on-policy self-distillation emerging as a particularly attractive approach.
arXiv:2608. 02087v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) with Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become an important tool for improving model capabilities, but the LLM action-space structure introduces challenges distinct from classical RL, with implications for inducing exploration.
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:2607. 04751v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Big goals are hard to achieve all at once; breaking them into small steps is wiser.
Post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) with Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become an important tool for improving model capabilities, but the LLM action-space structure introduces challenges distinct from classical RL, with implications for inducing exploration. New methods are required that leverage the broad knowledge and flexibility of pre-trained LLMs to deliberately generate diverse experience at training time.
