OPDHub: A Resource Aggregation Platform for Strategy Distillation Technology in Large Language Models

OPDHub is the companion website for the paper 'A Survey on Strategy Distillation for Large Language Models' (associated paper: arXiv:2604.00626). Maintained by nick7nlp, it was released on GitHub on June 2, 2026. This platform systematically compiles research progress, method classifications, and open-source resources in the field of strategy distillation, providing researchers with comprehensive technical references.

Necessity of Large Language Model Compression

As the parameter scale of large language models like GPT and Claude expands, deployment costs and inference latency have become key challenges for practical applications. As a model compression method, strategy distillation can reduce computational resource requirements while maintaining performance.

Definition of Strategy Distillation

Strategy distillation is a knowledge transfer technique that transfers the capabilities of a large teacher model to a small student model. Using online strategy learning, it aligns the strategy distribution of the student model with that of the teacher model, resulting in better performance retention.

Advantages of Strategy Distillation

• Data efficiency: No additional labeled data needed; directly uses teacher model outputs
• Strategy alignment: The student model's strategy distribution is more consistent with the teacher model's
• Continuous learning: Supports post-deployment optimization and adaptation

OPDHub systematically classifies strategy distillation technologies:

1. Classification by distillation target: Logits distillation, hidden state distillation, attention distillation, etc.
2. Classification by training strategy: Paradigms like online distillation, offline distillation, self-distillation, etc.
3. Classification by application scenario: Dialogue systems, code generation, reasoning tasks, etc.
