DLoop: Looped Speculative Decoding

Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation in large language models. In each drafting stage, a lightweight draft model proposes tokens that the target model subsequently verifies. With increasingly capable draft models, we find that the target model frequently accepts all tokens produced in a drafting s...

On-Policy Distillation with Negative-Policy Rollouts

On-policy distillation (OPD) has been widely studied as a post-training method in which a student model obtains token-level supervision from a stronger teacher on its own rollouts. Recent studies have improved OPD through alternative distillation reward formulations and teacher configurations, while the objective of di...

Isotropic Embedding Perturbations for Robust Vision Language Encoders

Aether is introduced, a simple plug-in method that applies diffusion-style random perturbations in the embedding space via controlled alpha-mixing, specifically designed to provide isotropic regularization that remains semantically consistent.

Revisiting Complete Reasoning Traces for Post-Training

It is found that full trajectories provide only limited benefit, while partial trajectories are effective even under heavy truncation, and training LLMs using endpoints leads to consistent changes in reasoning behavior, and that it also benefits post-training methods based on reinforcement learning or on-policy distill...

Router Prior Bias: Preserving Base Routing Structure in MoE Post-Training

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) pretraining relies on an auxiliary load-balancing loss (LBL) to drive per-expert utilization toward uniformity. Post-training inherits a different situation: the base router already encodes non-uniform expert co-activation structure, which a re-imposed uniformity objective flattens away. We sho...

On-Policy Delta Distillation

It is shown that the delta signal substantially improves on-policy distillation and the new distillation method is referred to as On-Policy Delta Distillation (OPD), enabling reasoning LLMs to achieve strong performance with only a short post-training period.

On-Policy Delta Distillation for Multilingual Math Reasoning

It is found that English-only OPD can also increase performance for Korean and Japanese, but often shifts the responses toward English, highlighting the importance of multilingual data to preserving target-language responses.

Verification-Aware Training for Speculative Decoding

Verification-Aware Training is introduced, a plug-in framework that simulates verification at every training step and turns the resulting accept and reject patterns into supervision and improves average acceptance length and wall-clock speedup across math, code, and chat benchmarks.
