New self-distillation methods boost LLM performance on reasoning tasks

Researchers have developed new self-distillation techniques for large language models to improve their performance without relying on external feedback. AVSD (Adaptive-View Self-Distillation) balances consensus signals across multiple privileged information views with view-specific residuals to enhance learning. Self-Policy Distillation (SPD) extracts a capability subspace from gradients to improve performance and generalizability, particularly in code generation and mathematical reasoning. CEPO (Contrastive Evidence Policy Optimization) sharpens credit assignment at decisive tokens by contrasting correct answers with incorrect ones, improving accuracy on multimodal mathematical reasoning benchmarks.

    CEPO: RLVR Self-Distillation using Contrastive Evidence Policy Optimization

    When a model produces a correct solution under reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), every token receives the same reward signal regardless of whether it was a decisive reasoning step or a grammatical filler. A natural fix is to condition the model on the correct…
