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:2606. 27814v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Training small language-model agents for long-horizon interactive tasks requires both fast imitation and reward-driven improvement.
arXiv:2604. 10688v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: On-policy reinforcement learning has become the dominant paradigm for reasoning alignment in large language models, yet its sparse, outcome-level rewards make token-level credit assignment notoriously difficult.
arXiv:2607. 10805v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) has emerged as a crucial paradigm for enhancing and aligning Large Language Models (LLMs).
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is a powerful recipe for improving language-model reasoning, but it is expensive to repeat on every new strong model because the target model must generate many rollouts during training. As models scale, post-training itself becomes a bottleneck.
