AgentDisCo: Towards Disentanglement and Collaboration in Open-ended Deep Research Agents

Jiarui Jin, Shijian Wang, Wenxiang Jiao, Yuan Lu, Zexuan Yan

AgentDisCo separates exploration and exploitation into critic and generator agents that iteratively refine outlines before a report writer synthesizes them.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

AgentDisCo employs a critic agent to evaluate generated outlines and refine search queries, and a generator agent to retrieve updated results and revise outlines accordingly. The iteratively refined outline is then passed to a downstream report writer that synthesizes a comprehensive research report.

C2weakest assumption

That formulating deep research as an adversarial optimization problem between information exploration and exploitation via separate critic and generator agents yields superior results compared to conflated single-module approaches, and that the meta-optimization harness can reliably discover effective strategies without extensive human intervention.

C3one line summary

AgentDisCo disentangles exploration and exploitation in research agents via critic-generator collaboration and meta-optimization, achieving competitive performance on benchmarks while introducing the GALA benchmark from user browsing histories.
