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.

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. 15161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation is an alternative post-training method in reinforcement learning that alleviates the constraints imposed by reward models by providing token-level supervision from a teacher model.
arXiv:2607. 04751v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Big goals are hard to achieve all at once; breaking them into small steps is wiser.
arXiv:2604. 00626v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As Large Language Models continue to grow in both capability and cost, transferring frontier capabilities into smaller, deployable students has become an important engineering problem, and knowledge distillation remains a common technique for this transfer.
arXiv:2607. 14614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) commonly uses entropy for advantage shaping.
arXiv:2602. 22495v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training has recently driven major gains in long chain-of-thought reasoning large language models (LLMs), but the high inference cost of such models motivates distillation into smaller students.
