arXiv:2608.02139v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) capable of self-improvement require not only effective policy optimization, but also a principled mechanism for transforming transient interaction experience into persistent model capabilities. Existing self-improvement paradigms remain fragmented: test-time methods can explicitly extract experience but cannot internalize it into model parameters, whereas training-time optimization methods can update model parameters but lack an explicit mechanism for accumulating transferable experience. Bridging these two paradigms requires a critical intermediate stage that remains underexplored, namely \emph{experience distillation}. To address this gap, we propose \textbf{SPEE} (\textbf{S}elf-\textbf{P}rogressive \textbf{E}xperience \textbf{E}volution), a unified post-training framework that sequentially performs explicit experience evolution followed by implicit policy optimization. During explicit experience evolution, SPEE reflects on trajectories collected from multiple interactions to extract, verify, and progressively evolve transferable experience, which is subsequently internalized into the policy through privilege-guided On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD). During implicit policy optimization, reward-driven reinforcement learning leverages these internalized priors to explore novel solution strategies. In the experience evolution stage, a continuously evolving global experience pool consolidates knowledge from both successful and failed trajectories, filters out low-utility experience, and …
