Training-Free On-Policy Distillation
Clean and potentially high-impact for teams managing multiple fine-tuned models. If you have separate specialists for math and code, you can now fold them without gradient steps. The catch is that rollout quality matters more than the solver, so garbage specialist behavior spreads to the merged model. Test this on your specialist stack; if it works, you cut serving costs and latency. If it doesn't, the reason is instructive.
