Treating claims independently makes LLM and search calls scale with claim count and causes repeated searches for overlapping evidence a...

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training drives the frontier capabilities of large language models, with its wall-clock dominated by autoregressive rollout generation. Speculative decoding is an established remedy for this bottleneck, but existing draft heads must be pretrained or warmed up before RL, introducing subs...

This work proposes RLCSD (Reinforcement Learning with Contrastive on-policy Self-Distillation), which mitigates this drift by contrasting the teacher-student gap under a correct hint against that under a wrong hint, suppressing style shifts induced by hints regardless of correctness and yielding a signal more concentra...
