REVO: Rollout-Efficient Off-Policy Distillation via Variance-Guided Reuse

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains language models using dense token-level teacher supervision on student-generated trajectories. However, its reliance on frequently refreshed student rollouts often incurs substantial generation cost. We introduce REVO, an off-policy distillation framework that improves rollout effici...

Rethinking Training-Inference Mismatch in LLM Reinforcement Learning: Where It Arises and How to Correct It

We study training-inference mismatch in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) for large language models, where rollouts are sampled by an inference engine while gradients are computed by a training engine, and the two engines assign different probabilities to the same tokens. To account for this discrep...

When EOS Tokens Disagree: Understanding Length Inflation in On-Policy Distillation

We study length inflation in on-policy distillation (OPD), where student responses can become excessively long and even exhaust the generation budget. We identify \emph{termination-token mismatch} between base students and post-trained teachers as an important source of this behavior. Across Qwen3, Llama, and Gemma, th...
