arXiv:2609.36546v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student model on its self-generated trajectories with dense token-level teacher feedback. However, naive OPD ma...
arXiv:2606. 09304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own trajectories with dense per-token supervision from a stronger teacher, and often outperforms off-policy distillation and standard reinforcement learning.
Offline on-policy distillation gains efficiency by collecting student trajectories and teacher supervision once and reusing them throughout optimization. The same reuse makes imperfect supervision per...
The paper introduces Selective Supervision for Direct-OPD (S$^2$D-OPD), a refinement of Direct On-Policy Distillation that filters out states where the teacher’s policy change is minimal, as measured by the teacher‑reference Jensen‑Shannon divergence. By masking low‑divergence states and keeping only the top 10% of states per response, S$^2$D-OPD improves held‑out accuracy on AIME and HMMT benchmarks across multiple teacher‑student pairs without additional forward passes.
