Interaction between teacher and student model sizes

Characterize how the size of the Qwen3-14B teacher interacts with the size of the student models in MAS-OPD training and performance.

Background

The main experiments hold the teacher fixed at Qwen3-14B while varying the student size between Qwen3-1.7B and Qwen3-4B. This design isolates the effect of student scale but does not determine how teacher scale affects MAS-OPD or how teacher and student capacities interact. The relationship between teacher size and the reported outcomes therefore remains unresolved.
