Apple simple self distillation for coding model post training

April 3, 2026Bo Wang

Bo Wang highlights Apple Research claiming coding models can improve dramatically by training on their own outputs, positioning simple self distillation as an alternative to RL, verifiers, or better teachers.

Apple Research just published something really interesting about post-training of coding models.
You don't need a better teacher. You don't need a verifier. You don't need RL.
A model can just train on its own outputs. And get dramatically better.
