TIP: Token Importance in On-Policy Distillation

Yuanda Xu, Hejian Sang, Zhengze Zhou, Ran He, Zhipeng Wang, Alborz Geramifard · 2026

On-policy knowledge distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own rollouts under token-level supervision from a teacher. Not all token positions matter equally, but existing views of token importance…

Lightning OPD: Efficient Post-Training for Large Reasoning Models with Offline On-Policy Distillation

Yecheng Wu, Song Han, Hai Cai · 2026

On-policy distillation (OPD) has emerged as an efficient post-training paradigm for large language models. However, standard OPD requires a live teacher inference server throughout training, resulting…

$p1$: Better Prompt Optimization with Fewer Prompts

Zhaolin Gao, Yu (Sid) Wang, Bo Liu, Thorsten Joachims, Kiante Brantley, Wen Sun · 2026

Prompt optimization improves language models without updating their weights by searching for a better system prompt, but its effectiveness varies widely across tasks. We study what makes a task amenab…
