Weak-to-Strong Generalization via Direct On-Policy Distillation

"Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is a powerful recipe for improving language-model reasoning, but it is expensive to repeat on every new strong model because the target model must generate many rollouts during training. As models scale, post-training itself becomes a bottleneck...."

Doomed from the Start: Early Abort of LLM Agent Episodes via a Recall-Controlled Probe Cascade

"Large language model (LLM) agents solving multi-step tasks frequently commit to trajectories that are doomed to fail, yet continue to consume substantial inference compute before the failure becomes observable. We show that failure is predictable early from the agent's internal representations: ligh..."
