MENTOR: Reinforcement Learning via Flexible Teacher-Optimized Rewards for Tool-Use Distillation
arXiv:2510.18383v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distilling the tool-use capabilities of large language models (LLMs) into small language models (SLMs) is essential for their practical application. The predominant approach, supervised fine-tuning (SFT), suffers from poor out-of-domain (OOD) generalization due to its…
