DASH: Divergence-Adaptive Supervision Horizons for On-Policy Self-Distillation of Reasoning Models

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) improves the reasoning capabilities of large language models using automatically verifiable outcome signals, but these signals are typically sparse and at the sequence-level.
