Authors: Yong HuangYulu Huangfor the team Collaboration

Abstract

The DeepResearch Agent System is a large language model system engineered for deep information retrieval, multi-step reasoning, and autonomous research tasks. Built upon a sparse activation architecture with 30 billion total parameters of which only 3 billion are activated per token, the system achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple agent search benchmarks while delivering 3.2 times faster inference compared to dense counterparts of equivalent scale. The system supports a 128K-token context window with hierarchical attention mechanisms that yield 18.7% accuracy and 23.4% recall improvements over standard long-context approaches. A dual-mode reasoning engine provides both a ReAct paradigm for basic multi-step problem solving and an IterResearch mode for high-performance iterative research with up to 20 reasoning steps, collectively delivering a 31.2% accuracy improvement over single-pass baselines. Multi-tool coordination integrates retrieval, computation, web search, and file parsing modules to achieve 92.1% tool-use accuracy. A reinforcement learning optimization framework based on the GRPO algorithm provides token-level policy gradients that improve training stability by 35% and accelerate convergence by 42%. An automated data synthesis pipeline with seed-based expansion achieves a 92.5% usability rate. Benchmark results include 87.3% on Humanity's Last Exam, 85.3% on BrowserComp Chinese, and 91.2% on WebWalkerQA. The system is fully open-sourced, including data synthesis, training, and inference code, and supports applications in academic research, business analysis, R&D support, and education.

Mind DeepResearch Technical Report

We present Mind DeepResearch (MindDR), an efficient multi-agent deep research framework that achieves leading performance with only ~30B-parameter models through a meticulously designed data synthesis and multi-stage training pipeline. The core innovation of MindDR lies in a collaborative three-agent architecture (Planning Agent, DeepSearch Agent, and Report Agent) and a four-stage agent-specialized training pipeline comprising SFT cold-start, Search-RL, Report-RL and preference alignment. With this regime, MindDR demonstrates competitive performance even with ~30B-scale models. Specifically, MindDR achieves 45.7% on BrowseComp-ZH, 42.8% on BrowseComp, 46.5% on WideSearch, 75.0% on xbench-DS, and 52.5 on DeepResearch Bench, outperforming comparable-scale open-source agent systems and rivaling larger-scale models. MindDR has been deployed as an online product in Li Auto. Furthermore, we introduce MindDR Bench, a curated benchmark of 500 real-world Chinese queries from our internal product user interactions, evaluated through a comprehensive multi-dimensional rubric system rather than relying on a single RACE metric. On MindDR Bench, MindDR achieves a state-of-the-art score of 51.8.

S1-DeepResearch: Beyond Search, Toward Real-World Long-Horizon Research Agents

Deep research agents aim to solve complex knowledge-intensive tasks through long-horizon planning, evidence gathering, reasoning, and report generation. While recent progress in search agents has demonstrated strong capabilities in information retrieval and answer verification, most existing training datasets remain search-centric, focusing primarily on closed-ended question answering and information localization. As a result, they mainly train information-seeking behavior while providing limited coverage of key deep research capabilities, including evidence integration, knowledge synthesis, planning, file understanding, and structured report generation. In this work, we propose a unified trajectory construction paradigm for deep research agents that combines closed-ended QA and open-ended exploration. The proposed framework consists of graph-grounded task formulation, agentic trajectory rollout, and multi-dimensional trajectory verification, enabling scalable synthesis of high-quality agentic trajectories spanning long-chain complex reasoning, deep research instruction following, report writing, file understanding and generation, and skills usage. Compared with existing search-oriented datasets, our synthesized trajectories place greater emphasis on knowledge synthesis, complex reasoning, and planning. S1-DeepResearch-32B achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable scale across 20 benchmarks spanning five capability dimensions, including complex reasoning, instruction following, report generation, file understanding, and skills usage. On several challenging deep research benchmarks, it approaches the performance of leading proprietary frontier models. These results highlight the importance of jointly modeling information acquisition, knowledge synthesis, and planning-oriented agent behaviors for building effective deep research agents.

DuMate-DeepResearch: An Auditable Multi-Agent System with Recursive Search and Rubric-Grounded Reasoning

Deep Research (DR) has emerged as a new agentic paradigm to tackle complex, open-ended research tasks, demanding systems that can iteratively frame problems, acquire evidence, verify sources, and synthesize long-form reports. In practice, however, current DR systems are constrained by four interrelated limitations: long-horizon planning over an underspecified scope, the bottleneck of decomposing and scheduling such tasks within a single agent, hallucination risk in long-form synthesis, and limited process auditability. This technical report presents DuMate-DeepResearch, a multi-agent DR framework built on the Qianfan Agent Foundry. The framework decouples the Agent Core, which handles task understanding, planning, and scheduling, from an extensible Tool Ecosystem for retrieval, evidence acquisition, and report rendering, making every intermediate decision and tool invocation explicitly traceable. Building on this infrastructure, DuMate-DeepResearch further introduces three mechanisms: (i) a graph-based dynamic planning strategy expands the research roadmap coarse-to-fine and continuously revises it through reflection, re-planning, backtracking, and parallel branching; (ii) a recursive two-level execution design delegates each complex search sub-task to an inner Search Agent that runs its own planning loop, isolating noisy retrieval and stabilizing long-horizon execution; (iii) a rubric-based test-time optimization mechanism dynamically generates task-specific quality criteria and uses them as live reasoning scaffolds for evidence-grounded synthesis and adaptive stopping. Across two deep research benchmarks, DuMate-DeepResearch establishes new state-of-the-art results: the best overall score (58.03%) on DeepResearch Bench, and the best overall score (61.95%) on DeepResearch Bench II while ranking first in information recall and analysis.
