Professional financial reports serve as the cornerstone of investment decisions, demanding deep reasoning and multimodal synthesis. While recent deep research systems excel in open-domain search, they struggle with financial reporting, specifically in handling financial data, ensuring analytical...

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) is a promising approach for enhancing agentic search. However, its performance is often hindered by reward sparsity, whereby agents receive very limited positive feedback despite incurring significant exploration costs. In this paper, we forma...

Building LLM-based agents has become increasingly important. Recent works on LLM-based agent self-evolution primarily record successful experiences as textual prompts or reflections, which cannot reliably guarantee efficient task re-execution in complex scenarios. We propose AgentFactory, a new s...

Information seeking bridges the knowledge gap between a query and its answer. Although LLMs perform well broadly, their ability to close this gap is limited by pretraining and degrades on specialized or up-to-date queries. A common remedy augments LLMs with external knowledge, either by injecting...

Complex reasoning in tool-augmented agent frameworks is inherently long-horizon, causing reasoning traces and transient tool artifacts to accumulate and strain the bounded working context of large language models. Without explicit memory mechanisms, such accumulation disrupts logical continuity a...

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled web agents to perform interactive tasks on real-world websites. However, existing agents still suffer from limited robustness, efficiency, and task success, largely due to their lack of structural understanding of websites and the absen...

Long-context understanding poses significant challenges in natural language processing, particularly for real-world dialogues characterized by high redundancy and uneven information density. Although large language models (LLMs) achieve impressive results on existing benchmarks, these datasets fa...

Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities through reinforcement learning (RL). However, enabling LLM-based agents to effectively orchestrate multiple tools remains an open challenge. In this paper, we introduce Tool-Star, an end-to-end agentic post...
