In one paragraph

Proposes CondenseLM, which uses an LLM-driven pipeline guided by reward matching to generate condensed text-classification datasets directly rather than optimizing embedding-level synthetic samples, aiming to improve representability and coverage over prior text condensation methods; reports it substantially outperforms coreset-selection and dataset-condensation baselines on SST-2, MNLI, AG News and IMDB while reducing computational cost.
