Simple-OPD: Demystifying Warm-up for On-policy Distillation

Tao Liu, Taiqiang Wu, Mao Zheng +5

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own rollouts with token-level supervision from teacher models, but its effectiveness can depend strongly on the warm-up stage b…

Memory Beyond Recall: A Dual-Process Cognitive Memory System for Self-Evolving LLM Agents

Tianxiang Fei, Mingyang Song, Mao Zheng +1

Long-term memory for an LLM agent is more than retrieving the right passage at the right time. Current memory systems collapse belief revision, causal coupling, and cross-domain ab…
