Abstract (arXiv)

The DeepResearch Agent System is a large language model system engineered for deep information retrieval, multi-step reasoning, and autonomous research tasks. Built upon a sparse activation architecture with 30 billion total parameters of which only 3 billion are activated per token, the system achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple agent search benchmarks while delivering 3.2 times faster inference compared to dense counterparts of equivalent scale. The system supports a 128K-token context window with hierarchical attention mechanisms that yield 18.7% accuracy and 23.4% recall improvements over standard long-context approaches. A dual-mode reasoning engine provides both a ReAct paradigm for basic multi-step problem solving and an IterResearch mode for high-performance iterative research with up to 20 reasoning steps, collectively delivering a 31.2% accuracy improvement over single-pass baselines. Multi-tool coordination integrates retrieval, computation, web search, and file parsing modules to achieve 92.1% tool-use accuracy. A reinforcement learning optimization framework based on the GRPO algorithm provides token-level policy gradients that improve training stability by 35% and accelerate convergence by 42%. An automated data synthesis pipeline with seed-based expansion achieves a 92.5% usability rate. Benchmark results include 87.3% on Humanity's Last Exam, 85.3% on BrowserComp Chinese, and 91.2% on WebWalkerQA. The system is fully open-sourced, including data synthesis, training, and inference code, and supports applications in academic research, business analysis, R&D support, and education.
