Researchers have developed Selective Residual Adaptation (SRA), a new framework designed to improve the reasoning capabilities of smaller language models distilled from larger ones. SRA utilizes a Discrepancy Gate to pinpoint areas where the student model's distribution diverges from the teacher model and a Candidate Residual Adapter to calibrate the top-K logits, thereby correcting mismatches. This plug-and-play method has demonstrated consistent performance gains on mathematical benchmarks using Qwen3 models, increasing average Pass@16 by up to 4.37 percentage points without compromising general abilities.
