Cortex uses an Ontological Corpus Graph to structure web-scale corpora, creating a refined 24.14B-token corpus and a new benchmark validated on eight LLMs.
RISE uses BM25 to bound interaction spaces for agentic search and pre-processes documents for shell navigation, matching direct corpus interaction accuracy at roughly one-quarter the cost on BrowseComp-Plus.
LiveBrowseComp shows search agents rely on intrinsic knowledge on standard benchmarks, with scores dropping 25-40 points and closed-book accuracy below 2% on questions about facts from the prior 90 days.
TacoMAS performs test-time co-evolution of agent capabilities and communication topology in LLM multi-agent systems via fast capability updates and slow meta-LLM topology edits, delivering 13.3% average gains over strong baselines on four benchmarks.
Algorithms based on the least core approximate stable credit assignments for AI-generated content using orders of magnitude fewer LLM calls than alternatives.
BRIGHT-Pro and RTriever-Synth advance reasoning-intensive retrieval by adding multi-aspect evidence evaluation and aspect-decomposed synthetic training, with the fine-tuned RTriever-4B showing gains over its base model.
LLM-based dense retrievers generalize better when instruction-tuned but pay a specialization tax when optimized for reasoning; they resist typos and corpus poisoning better than encoder-only baselines yet remain vulnerable to semantic perturbations, with larger models and certain embedding geometry,
ECHO is a selective turn-memory framework for agentic RL that compresses turns into indexed records, selects them for bounded contexts, and uses source indices to assign outcome credit to supporting evidence, reaching 43.4% accuracy on BrowseComp-Plus versus 28.9% for GRPO and 36.1% for SUPO.
IntentKV prunes KV cache using cross-turn intent memory and attention scoring, achieving up to 77.8% reduction in worst-case peak tokens and 92.6% in KV reads at 8k budget with negligible accuracy drop on Qwen models.
BRANE maps queries to optimal retrieval pipeline configurations using LLM-derived features and per-configuration correctness predictors, improving the cost-quality Pareto frontier on three benchmarks.
PEEK maintains a constant-sized context map via a programmable cache policy to give LLM agents persistent orientation knowledge about recurring external contexts, yielding 6-34% gains and lower cost than prior prompt-learning methods.
DAgger-style training with turn-level policy interpolation raises 4B and 8B LLM agents to 27.3% and 29.8% on SWE-bench Verified, beating several larger published systems.
EnterpriseRAG-Bench supplies a synthetic corpus of 500k documents across Slack, Gmail, Linear, Google Drive, HubSpot, Fireflies, GitHub, Jira and Confluence together with 500 questions spanning single-document lookup to conflict resolution and missing-information detection.
MARCA is a bilingual benchmark using 52 questions and validated checklists to evaluate LLM web-search completeness and correctness in English and Portuguese.
LMM-Searcher uses file-based visual UIDs and a fetch tool plus 12K synthesized trajectories to fine-tune a multimodal agent that scales to 100-turn horizons and reaches SOTA among open-source models on MM-BrowseComp and MMSearch-Plus.
The paper introduces the KDR task, HKA multi-agent framework, and KDR-Bench to enable LLM agents to integrate structured knowledge into deep research reports, with experiments showing outperformance over prior agents.
Reflective Context Learning unifies context optimization for agents by recasting prior methods as instances of a shared learning problem and extending them with classical primitives such as batching, failure replay, and grouped rollouts, yielding improvements on AppWorld, BrowseComp+, and RewardBene
Retrievers trained on agent trajectories via the LRAT framework improve evidence recall, task success, and efficiency in agentic search benchmarks.
A category theory framework evaluates deep research agents on structural skills and shows frontier systems reach only 19.9% accuracy on a new 296-question bilingual benchmark, with theory-guided interventions improving performance.
ActiveMem proposes a heterogeneous distributed memory framework for LLM agents that separates planning from active memory management, reporting SOTA accuracy with lower overhead on BrowseComp-Plus and GAIA.
AgentCL constructs controlled task streams with intentional reusability and introduces MemProbe to evaluate non-parametric memory designs for continual learning in language agents across coding, research, and reasoning tasks.
MeMo encodes new knowledge into a separate memory model that integrates with frozen LLMs, showing strong performance on QA benchmarks while avoiding catastrophic forgetting and working without access to model weights.
