What happened and what to do

The paper, dated September 29, 2026, tests on-policy distillation (OPD) using a single training query across math, coding, instruction following, and agentic tool use. It argues that algorithmic improvements may provide more benefit than expanding the data and proposes reducing the data needed for OPD while retaining much of the reported gain.

A company evaluating specialized models could implement an internal benchmark to compare OPD with different data volumes, tasks, and quality criteria. An evaluation pipeline could track performance, cost, and failures, including tool use, before deciding whether the approach fits a production use case.
