From Collaboration to Capability: Internalizing Routed LLM Experts into Compact Reasoners

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

A compact controller can coordinate stronger experts by selecting whom to consult, formulating requests, and integrating their responses. We study whether learning from both the controller's decisions and the experts' reasoning and code improves its generation after expert removal. We introduce \textsc{Rivet} for \emph{collaboration internalization}: expert-augmented reinforcement learning applies a shared outcome signal to controller decisions and returned expert spans, and verified trajectory internalization consolidates complete successful interactions through format-aware supervised traini
