In OPD, a student generates its own rollouts and receives dense per-token feedback from the teacher's log-probabilities. Why OPD sometimes fails has been poorly understood. In one puzzling case, a stronger teacher leaves the student… 2. **[A Survey of Self-Evolving Agents: What, When, How, and Where to Evolve on the Path to Artificial Super Intelligence](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gao-2025-survey-self-evolving-agents-where/)** *(2025 · 36 citations)* Today's LLMs are essentially frozen once trained. They cannot update their own parameters or behavior when they meet unfamiliar tasks, shifting knowledge, or changing interaction settings, and this becomes a serious limitation when agents work in open, interactive environments.
