From Scoring to Acting: Outcome-Verified Comparative Self-Distillation for LLM Agents
Recent work on LLM agents is shifting from external capability elicitation to capability internalization, enabling agents to retain useful skills without retrieval at inference time. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) offers a promising direction, but many existing methods typically supervise students by scoring actions along student-generated trajectories. Such supervision has two limitations: teacher preferences are not validated by environment outcomes, and action-level scores underuse inform
