Search More, Think Less: Rethinking Long-Horizon Agentic Search for Efficiency and Generalization
Qianben Chen, Tianrui Qin, King Zhu +21
Recent deep research agents primarily improve performance by scaling reasoning depth, but this leads to high inference cost and latency in search-intensive scenarios. Moreover, gen…
AFM: An Adaptive Agent Foundation Model for Tool-Aware Hybrid Reasoning
Qianben Chen, Jingyi Cao, Jiayu Zhang +12
Large language models split into two families: reasoning-centric LLMs, which strengthen internal chain-of-thought reasoning but cannot invoke external tools, and agentic LLMs, whic…
Chain-of-Agents: End-to-End Agent Foundation Models via Multi-Agent Distillation and Agentic RL
Weizhen Li, Jianbo Lin, Zhuosong Jiang +27
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and multi-agent systems have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in complex problem-solving tasks such as deep research, vibe codin…
TaskCraft: Automated Generation of Agentic Tasks
Dingfeng Shi, Jingyi Cao, Qianben Chen +14
Agentic tasks, which require multi-step problem solving with autonomy, tool use, and adaptive reasoning, are becoming increasingly central to the advancement of NLP and AI. However…
