The strong generalization performance of on-policy post-training paradigms has motivated studies of their parameter update behaviors. However, these studies treat the observed behaviors only as byproducts in on-policy training, overlooking their potential to serve as optimization principles for improving the generaliza …
On-policy distillation (OPD) reduces train-test state mismatch by training a student on its own generated trajectories, but weak students may visit teacher-misaligned prefixes where supervision is less representative. We introduce SAKI (Supervision Allocation with KL-constrained Interpolation), which combines a KL-cons …
Efficient exploration often remains a central bottleneck in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). Although temperature control and test-time scaling strategies can increase rollout diversity of large language models (LLMs), they either expand the sample budget at rollout time or leave the benefit of ex …
