Researchers have developed H$^2$SD, a novel hybrid hindsight self-distillation framework designed to enhance the reasoning abilities of large language models. This method addresses limitations in existing reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) techniques, which often suffer from sparse supervision and poor token-level credit assignment. H$^2$SD differentiates its approach based on trajectory correctness: for successful paths, it modulates update magnitudes, while for failed paths, it uses a reference hint to guide the student model towards a verified answer. Experiments on various reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that H$^2$SD surpasses current RLVR, on-policy distillation (OPD), and reinforcement learning self-distillation (RLSD) methods in performance and efficiency.
