  • 多教师分步协作,按预测困惑度动态筛选推理步骤。
  • 用少且结构化的监督信号,学生模型接近教师水平。
  • 适合需要高效高质量推理的场景,尤其开放域任务。

大模型长链推理(Long-CoT)虽能力强,但全规模推理计算开销大,难以实用。现有基于筛选的方法在事后选择完整推理路径,忽视异构教师间的协作与动态探索,导致冗余采样并遗漏互补推理。本文提出CoRD框架,通过预测困惑度评分与束搜索引导的分步推理合成,使异构大模型协同构建连贯推理轨迹,高效保留多样且高潜力的假设。实验表明,CoRD生成的推理数据质量更高,仅需少量结构化监督即可实现接近教师水平的学生模型表现,且无明显效率损失。该方法在跨领域和开放性任务中也具备良好泛化能力。代码与模型已开源:https://github.com/DISL-Lab/CoRD。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Distilling large reasoning models is essential for making Long-CoT reasoning practical, as full-scale inference remains computationally prohibitive. Existing curation-based approaches select complete reasoning traces post-hoc, overlooking collaboration among heterogeneous teachers and lacking dynamic exploration, which leads to redundant sampling and missed complementary reasoning. We introduce CoRD, a collaborative multi-teacher decoding framework that performs step-wise reasoning synthesis guided by predictive perplexity-based scoring and beam search. This enables heterogeneous LRMs to jointly construct coherent reasoning trajectories while efficiently preserving diverse, high-potential hypotheses. Experiments show that CoRD produces higher-quality reasoning data and achieves near teacher-level student performance with fewer, structured supervision signals, without substantial efficiency overhead. CoRD further generalizes well to out-of-domain and open-ended settings. The dataset and model are available at \href{https://github.com/DISL-Lab/CoRD}{https://github.com/DISL-Lab/CoRD}.
