Hybrid Policy Distillation for LLMs

arXiv:2604. 20244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) is a powerful paradigm for compressing large language models (LLMs), whose effectiveness depends on intertwined choices of divergence direction, optimization strategy, and data regime.
