What happened and what to do
Published on October 6, 2026, the post describes MOPD, an on-policy distillation approach for combining capabilities from independently trained specialist models in a single student. The student generates its own rollouts; domain-specialist teachers provide token-level supervision using a sampled reverse KL objective.
A company could assess the approach in a pilot using tasks and specialists relevant to its needs, comparing the combined model’s quality, cost, and behavior with current alternatives. Implementation could include preparing data and models, building a training and evaluation pipeline, and monitoring results.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose the opportunity and requirements for data, models, and evaluation, define an implementation scope, and structure operation of the distillation and monitoring pipeline.
