Reddit r/LocalLLaMA Papers

Summary

Session-Adaptive Orthogonal Distillation (SAOD) is a technique that compresses a 744-billion parameter model (1.5TB) to under 100GB, greatly reducing storage and inference costs.

Lossless Anti-Distillation Sampling

arXiv cs.LG

This paper proposes Lossless Anti-Distillation Sampling (LADS), a novel sampling scheme that counters multi-account distillation by correlating responses across accounts while preserving exact statistical fidelity for individual benign users. Theoretical analysis and experiments show LADS degrades distilled student performance on image, math, and code generation.

OPRD: On-Policy Representation Distillation

Hugging Face Daily Papers

OPRD proposes a new knowledge distillation method that aligns student and teacher hidden states across layers during on-policy rollouts, eliminating sampling variance from token-space KL estimation. Empirically, OPRD outperforms output-space baselines on math reasoning benchmarks (AIME 2024/2025, AIMO) while being 1.44x faster and using 54% less memory.

ShortOPD: Recovering Pruned LLMs with Short-to-Long On-Policy Distillation

arXiv cs.LG

ShortOPD proposes a short-to-long on-policy distillation schedule that recovers pruned LLMs for free-form generation by focusing training on effective prefixes, achieving up to 9x improvement over unrecovered models and matching long-horizon distillation with a quarter of the training time.
