Revisiting On-policy Adversarial Black-Box Distillation: Calibrating Groupwise Reward Geometry for Effective Advantage Construction
Black-box distillation is a practical route for transferring capabilities from API-accessible large language models that expose only text outputs into smaller student models. Recent on-policy adversarial methods such as GAD improve over SeqKD by forming an adversarial loop between a critic and a student, where the crit...
