Recent advances in post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly rely on Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) or On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD). While OPSD provides dense, logit-level supervision, it inherently suffers from exposure bias due to the privileged information of the self-teacher.

arXiv:2606. 05152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning models have advanced rapidly, but the dominant reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) recipe remains surprisingly narrow: sample many responses and reward each with a single bit indicating whether the final answer is correct.

arXiv:2606. 01039v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) is a widely used technique to transfer capabilities from capable teacher language models to the base student models, and can be formulated in a reinforcement learning style objective using student generated rollouts.
