Instead of cloning full teacher demonstrations that mismatch the contexts a student hits at test time, spend a fixed teacher-labeling budget on short continuation rollouts that branch from the student's own trajectories (arXiv). On HotpotQA, ALFWorld, and Terminal-Bench-Dev, bounded teacher continuations beat behavioral cloning at matched budgets. If you're fine-tuning an agent, generate a few teacher-corrected continuations from your student's failure states rather than paying for many complete expert trajectories.
