Recent research empowers Large Language Models (LLMs) as multi-turn search agents to iteratively retrieve and generate outputs until complex tasks are solved. However, the contexts of multi-turn search agents are lengthy and complex. For example, the retrieved set of documents in each turn would...

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world settings, correctness alone is insufficient. Reliable deployment requires maintaining truthful beliefs under contextual perturbations. Existing evaluations largely rely on point-wise confidence like Self-Consistency, which ca...

Agentic learning increasingly hinges on interaction, yet real-world experience is expensive, limited, and often irreversible at inference time. World models promise to mitigate these limitations, but it remains unclear whether large language models can actually serve as reliable world models, and...

While large language model–powered agents can self-evolve by accumulating experience or by dynamically creating new assets (i.e., tools or expert agents), existing frameworks typically treat these two evolutionary processes in isolation. This separation overlooks their intrinsic interdependence:...

The hallmark of Deep Research agents lies in compositional reasoning, the capacity to aggregate distributed, heterogeneous information into coherent logical insights. However, current agentic systems are often retrieval-heavy but reasoning-light, where success is predominantly determined by simpl...

Tool-using agents based on Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in tasks such as mathematical reasoning and multi-hop question answering. However, in long trajectories, agents often trigger excessive and low-quality tool calls, increasing latency and degrading inference performance, making managing...

Tool-Integrated Reasoning (TIR) has emerged as a promising direction by extending Large Language Models’ (LLMs) capabilities with external tools during reasoning. Existing TIR methods typically rely on external tool documentation during reasoning. However, this leads to tool mastery difficulty, t...

Long-horizon agents operate over extended sequences of reasoning and actions, but this inevitably accumulates context noise, resulting in excessive computational cost and information overload. Existing approaches commonly rely on fixed, rule-based summarization strategies (e.g., summarizing every...
