OPD followed by reinforcement learning reportedly improves reasoning performance
A researcher announcing a new paper says the OPD→RL sequence outperformed pure OPD, pure RLVR and many joint OPD+RL methods across reasoning tasks.
TLDR
“Don’t skip RL after OPD” is a researcher’s recommendation in announcing a new paper. They report that adding a reinforcement learning (RL) phase after OPD consistently improved performance. Across reasoning tasks, they say this sequence outperformed pure OPD, pure RLVR and many methods that combine OPD and RL jointly.
