Peer-Predictive Self-Training for Language Model Reasoning

arXiv:2604.13356v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mechanisms for continued self-improvement of language models without external supervision remain an open challenge. We propose Peer-Predictive Self-Training (PST), a label-free fine-tuning framework in which multiple language models improve collaboratively by using a cross-model aggregate response as an internal training signal. Given a prompt, models generate responses sequentially; the final aggregated answer, which is often more reliable than individual responses in practice, serves as an internal reference for learning. We measure how inf

Why this matters
Why now
