Researchers have introduced Latent-OPD, a novel method for improving the efficiency of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) in video reasoning. This technique enhances On-Policy Distillation (OPD) by incorporating trajectory-level latent distillation, focusing on the hidden states at the end of reasoning trajectories to better capture accumulated visual evidence. A progressive teacher-lookahead strategy further aligns student model layers with deeper teacher layers. Experiments on six video reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that Latent-OPD significantly outperforms standard output-only OPD, especially in scenarios with limited frames, long videos, or complex evidence aggregation tasks, leading to more frame-efficient video reasoning.
