MOPD: Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation for Capability Integration in LLM Post-Training

Modern large language models (LLMs) rely on reinforcement learning during post-training to push specific capabilities, yet integrating multiple capabilities into one model remains hard. Existing methods, such as Off-Policy Finetune and Mix-RL, are either inefficient or lose performance. In this work, we propose Multi-teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD), a post-training paradigm for combining the capabilities of multiple domain RL teachers: we first run per-domain specialised RL to obtain a set of domain teachers, then distill these teachers into the student on its own rollouts. This eliminates exposure bias and provides a dense optimization signal. On Qwen3-30B-A3B, MOPD outperforms Mix...
