Learning without Overwriting: A Theory of Self-Distillation and Supervised Fine-Tuning in Continual Reasoning

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) of large language models (LLMs) has demonstrated the ability to improve reasoning capabilities while preserving previously acquired knowledge. Despite substantial empirical success, the dynamics of OPSD in continual reasoning remain incompletely understood. Modeling LLM reasoning as s...
