What happened and what to do

Published on February 12, 2026, the article examines OPSD, SDFT, and SDPO, three on-policy self-distillation methods that use denser feedback. It also discusses benchmarks and limitations; the comparison is presented as support for engineers studying how these methods use feedback to improve model reasoning.

A company evaluating these methods could implement a benchmarking pipeline with representative tasks, consistent metrics, and records of versions, data, and results. This enables comparison of approaches and limitations in the business context before deciding whether to incorporate them into model development.
