PACED applies student pass-rate weighting w(p)=p(1-p) to distillation, concentrating on the zone of proximal development and delivering up to +8.2 gains on AIME tasks with reduced forgetting.
All other settings (DAPO training data, K=8 rollouts, α=β=1) follow the Qwen3 distillation track, with the same learning rate of1×10 −7
