Weak-to-strong generalization asks whether stronger models can learn from weaker supervisors and surpass them. This question is particularly important for successive model generations and multi-domain consolidation, where repeating frontier-scale post-training from scratch can be prohibitively expensive. Yet conventional distillation treats the weak teacher as an optimization target, potentially imposing its capacity ceiling on the student. We introduce On-Policy Reverse Distillation (OPRD), which evaluates the teacher's policy shift relative to its reference policy on student rollouts and amp
