&lt;p>Self-distillation has emerged as a powerful technique for improving large language models without external teacher signals, but existing approaches are fragmented across diverse objectives, training signals, and model components. We introduce UniSD, a unified self-distillation framework that consolidates these directions into a single, modular formulation. UniSD enables systematic comparison of self-distillation variants and supports new combinations across data, representation, and decoding levels.&lt;/p>
