Learning Robust Personalized Prompts for LLM-Driven Sequential Recommendation

LLM-driven sequential recommendation formulates next-item prediction as autoregressive generation conditioned on natural-language prompts. However, minor wording changes in semantically equivalent prompts can cause substantial performance fluctuations, undermining robustness and requiring costly manual prompt engineeri...

Data-Free On-Policy Distillation: How Far Can We Go Without External Data?

On-policy distillation (OPD) is increasingly applied to frontier foundation model post-training. Prior work in this area has largely focused on algorithmic advances, yet it remains unclear how much OPD depends on its training questions and, in particular, how far this dependence can be reduced. Across two representativ...

RePolicy: Reinforcement Learning for Safety-Policy Invocation in Agent Safeguards

Safeguarding language model agents requires assessing complete execution trajectories under context-dependent safety policies. Existing policy-aware safeguards mainly rely on prompting or supervised fine-tuning, limiting their ability to adapt to unseen trajectories and changing policy contexts. We propose RePolicy, an...

MAS-OPD: On-Policy Distillation for Multi-agent Systems

MAS-OPD is presented, where Role-Advantage Specialization defines the role advantage as the difference between the teacher signals under target and non-target role conditions, and Privileged Attribution for Coordination attributes an interaction conflict to its source and supplies it to the teacher alone as privileged...

On-Policy Distillation with Curriculum Turn-level Guidance for Multi-turn Agents

Guided On-Policy Distillation (Guided-OPD), a simple yet effective algorithm that mixes teacher- and student-generated turns within each rollout and schedules the teacher's intervention probability along a curriculum that decays to zero is proposed.

Data-free On-policy Distillation

DF-OPD matches and even surpasses real data, and the questions it produces track the teacher's own post-training data on three key diagnostics of training dynamics, which other real datasets do not.

EasyOPD: An Easy-to-use On-Policy Distillation Framework for Large Language Models

Experiments on reasoning, code-generation, scientific-knowledge, scientific-knowledge, and tool-use benchmarks show that these implementations can be executed through the same verl-based backend while retaining their method-specific objectives and task-dependent performance profiles.
