Illustration of OPD \citep{agarwal-etal:onpolicy}. The student model generates trajectories from its current policy, while the teacher model provides next-token distributional supervision at the states visited by the student. The divergence between the teacher and student distributions is used to construct dense token-level rewards for optimizing the student model.}
