Demystifying On-Policy Distillation: Roles, Pathologies, and Regulations

Rui Wang, Hongru Wang, Yi Chen +4

On-policy distillation (OPD) has become a key paradigm in LLM post-training, yet its training dynamics remain poorly understood. We present a systematic study examining the role, p…

Multi-Turn Evaluation of Deep Research Agents Under Process-Level Feedback

Rishabh Sabharwal, Hongru Wang, Amos Storkey +1

Existing benchmarks for deep research agents (DRAs) assess only single-shot outputs, ignoring a key question: can DRAs improve their reports when guided by feedback? To investigate…
