PBSD derives a reward-reweighted teacher distribution as the analytic optimum of a reward-regularized objective, yielding better stability and performance than KL-based self-distillation on math reasoning and tool-use tasks.
Local teachability collapse in trajectory suffixes makes uniform dense supervision suboptimal in strong-to-weak OPD; truncating at BIC-style change points on teacher margin improves performance.
ATESD makes teacher exposure to reference reasoning a learnable control variable via a Beta-policy optimized on future student improvement, yielding gains of up to +2.33 points over fixed-exposure self-distillation on AIME and HMMT math benchmarks.
On-policy distillation works when student and teacher models share thinking patterns and the teacher adds new capabilities, with success tied to alignment on a small set of high-probability tokens.
BRTS improves on-policy distillation by sampling multiple teacher rollouts and selecting the best one via a correctness-first then alignment priority rule, yielding gains on AIME and AMC math benchmarks.
