Abstract

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own generated responses using dense, token-level supervision from a stronger teacher. Vanilla OPD treats all teacher signals equally, assuming that the teacher's supervision is equally important for every token. However, teacher signals at different tokens may have very different effects on the student's performance: some correct important reaso
