Hi, Niels here from the open-source team at Hugging Face. At paperswithcode.co I am trying to make it easier for people to learn about the newest techniques used across AI papers. One of the hottest terms in AI research that I've recently added is On-policy distillation, also abbreviated as OPD. It's the key post-training behind models like Qwen 3.6 and 3.7, GLM-5.1, and DeepSeek-V4. https://preview.redd.it/yegq2gfag95h1.png?width=3046&format=png&auto=webp&s=f68fdf3ca075f3c4e56051fdd0ebcf97be9bcbc9 On PapersWithCode, you can find the original paper that introduced it, learn more about the method itself, as well as all papers that cite or mention it. Sasha Rush (who used to be a colleague of mine at Hugging Face, now at Cursor) recently made an excellent whiteboard explanation of OPD with Dwarkesh. I've linked this video lecture in the method description on PwC's website, so more people can find it. I'll copy the excellent short description of the method from Dwarkesh here: "The basic idea is this: if the model made a mistake at some point in the rollout (for example, calling a tool that doesn't exist), we want to discourage this specific error, but we don't want to just learn from the final reward, because it's a very noisy signal spread out over the whole trajectory. So we have another model to read this trajectory and figure out where the error was made. It simply inserts some hint tokens into the part of the trajectory immediately above where the mistake occurred. Now, with these injected hint tokens, run a forward pass through the model. You're not having to regenerate a new rollout - aka no new decode required. The hint causes the model to assign lower probabilities to the error tokens. You then train the original model to match these new probabilities, teaching it to downweight that specific mistake." Let me know which other methods I should add!

I have a paper accepted at a non-archival ICML workshop this year, and I am trying to decide whether it is worth registering and attending. By coincidence, I will already be in Seoul around that time, but I would have to pay the workshop registration fee (~$400) out of my own pocket. I would only be registering for the workshop day since I have other commitments during the rest of the conference. I am thinking of applying to PhD programs this fall (I applied this year too, but didn't get in), and the workshop speakers and panellists look genuinely great. Not sure what the real benefits are here or whether I should go for it. For context, I am also attending ACL 2026 this year, but that trip is fortunately sponsored, so this would be a separate personal expense. I would also appreciate guidance on how non-archival workshops work in general. Since the paper is non-archival and not formally published (at least to my understanding), is registration still expected or required for accepted papers? Do authors typically attend and present in person, or is it common to skip attendance and conference registration? Has anyone been in a similar situation? I want to understand the benefits of this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I honestly have no idea how to evaluate this. submitted by /u/YOYOBOYOO [link] [Kommentare]

So I am trying to figure out what agent OS is. I am a layman and a lot of times when I see the information it comes off as very technical. However, I do like the idea of a dashboard because for my neurodivergent brain, it would be nice to have all of the AI tools in one space. Can you all help me understand what agent OS is? submitted by /u/EducatedBrotha [link] [Kommentare]

This is absolutely insane and just continues to remind me of the COVID dip in March 2020. ETH is no longer #2, falling to #3 now to Tether. Many of the big alts are dropping BELOW their low ranges of the 2022/2023 bear market, lower than even where they were after the collapse of FTX. Crazy to see this all playing out. I am predominantly BTC, but also have had positions in ETH an ADA for a while now. I've been loading up aggressively on BTC this year in the 60k range, but the insane volatility on the alts has made me a bit more conservative with my moves on them. This will eventually find some sort of floor of support where it stabilizes, I don't know exactly where or when this will happen, so plan is to focus more on accumulating BTC for now. Crazy times. submitted by /u/ubermensch1001 [link] [Kommentare]
