AREX-2: Advancing Self-Improving Agents through Long-Horizon Reflective Tasks

Hongjin Qian, Chaofan Li, Kun Luo +11

We present AREX-2, an effort to advance the self-improving capability of LLM agents, which we define as the ability to iteratively refine a solution at test time. This ability rest…

AREX: Towards a Recursively Self-Improving Agent for Deep Research

Shuqi Lu, Chaofan Li, Kun Luo +21

Deep research requires agents to find answers that jointly satisfy multiple constraints. Discovering such answers is costly, whereas verifying a candidate can often be decomposed i…

OPOD: On-Policy Omni Distillation

Tong Zhao, Yuyang Hu, Yutao Zhu +5

Omni-modal models provide a unified interface for text, images, and audio. However, improving these abilities together remains difficult, as post-training on pooled multimodal data…

VeriGraph: Towards Verifiable Data-Analytic Agents

Jiajie Jin, Zhao Yang, Wenle Liao +5

LLM-based agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in data-intensive analytical tasks, yet their outputs are rarely verifiable: a reliance on linear text trajectories makes the…

Toward Generalist Autonomous Research via Hypothesis-Tree Refinement

Jiajie Jin, Yuyang Hu, Kai Qiu +15

Scientific progress depends on a repeated loop of exploration, experimentation, and abstraction. Researchers test candidate directions, interpret the evidence, and carry the result…
