arXiv:2606.00172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), especially Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), has been widely used to improve reasoning in large language models. However, outcome-level rewards provide only sparse supervision, and group-relative advantages vanish when all sampled trajectories for a prompt are either correct or incorrect. On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) offers dense token-level guidance, but its token preferences are not necessarily aligned with trajectory correctness; empirical diagnostics show that OPSD signals
