Latent On-Policy Self-Distillation

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.

SIRI: Self-Internalizing Reinforcement Learning with Intrinsic Skills for LLM Agent Training

arXiv:2606. 02355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents can benefit from reusable skills, yet existing skill-based methods often rely on external skill generators during training or persistent skill retrieval at inference, increasing engineering complexity, context length, and deployment latency.

UCOB: Learning to Utilize and Evolve Agentic Skills via Credit-Aware On-Policy Bidirectional Self-Distillation

arXiv:2606. 29502v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Skill memories can improve agentic reinforcement learning by reusing past experience as textual guidance, but retrieved skills are not oracular: they may help in one state while misleading the same policy in another.

Instruction-Conditioned Exploration with Asymmetric Reinforcement Learning and Self-Distillation

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.
