Large vision-language models (LVLMs) exhibit strong multimodal in-context learning (ICL) capabilities, yet this ability degrades substantially as model size decreases. Knowledge distillation offers a natural way to bridge this gap, but existing methods primarily align output distributions or hidden representations dire …

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains compact language agents with teacher feedback on student-generated trajectories. In multi-turn tasks, compounding errors can move students beyond the teacher's effective supervision. We introduce Graph-Conditioned On-Policy Agent Distillation (GC-OPD), which enriches an off-the-shelf …

In agentic AI systems, frozen foundation models are increasingly deployed as closed-weight API endpoints, making downstream adaptation possible only through the inputs and inference procedures surrounding the model. As a result, for each input query, two coupled decisions largely determine both answer quality and token …

Latent visual reasoning (LVR) enables multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to perform intermediate computation in continuous latent tokens rather than expressing every reasoning step in words. However, unlike textual CoT, latent reasoning is not directly observable, making it difficult to supervise what latent toke …
