Distilling skills with sustained training signals reportedly matches or beats banks up to 11 times larger

A post about an NYU and Amazon paper describes skills as short written tips a model absorbs from a copy of itself that reads them. It says SGUID keeps skills that provide useful training signals both early and late: with six such skills, three of four models matched or beat banks of 30 to 71 skills on math contest tests. A second round with three new skills reportedly lifted Qwen3-8B from 64.3% to 66.3%.
