arXiv:2606.03620v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-distilled policy optimization (SDPO) has become a popular paradigm for LLM post-training, where a model learns from its own predictions conditioned on privileged information. SDPO, however, is sensitive to how much each update step should be trusted: corrections from a self-teacher can be highly informative on some batches and misleading on others, and applying them uniformly with a fixed step size can destabilize training. Drawing inspiration from viscous-fluid dynamics and formalizing the analogy at the SDE level, we propose Physics-Guided
