Researchers have developed a unified framework for on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) to enhance LLM reasoning by integrating privileged information into model parameters. This new framework, Unified On-Policy Self-Distillation (USD), addresses limitations in prior OPSD methods by jointly optimizing token selection and privileged information adjustment based on the student's learning capacity. Another approach, SKALD (Skill-Anchored Latent Distillation), uses abstract skill cards to provide dense supervision, particularly when standard rewards are uninformative, showing significant improvements on mathematics benchmarks. A separate study, OP2SD, investigates the role of context-induced teacher behavior in OPSD, suggesting that gains are not solely from accessing reference solutions but also from how the teacher's context changes.
