arXiv:2605.22675v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-distillation bootstraps large language models (LLMs) by training on their own generations. However, existing methods either rely on external signals to curate self-generated outputs (e.g., correctness filtering, execution feedback, and reward search), which are costly and unavailable for the best-performing frontier models, or skip curation entirely and train on all raw outputs, an approach that is often domain-specific and hard to generalize. Both also share a deeper weakness that self-generated outputs entangle task-relevant capability wit
