Flash-Searcher: Fast and Effective Web Agents via DAG-Based Parallel Execution
- 将任务拆解为带依赖关系的子任务,通过有向无环图实现并行执行
- 在BrowseComp上达67.7%准确率,xbench-DeepSearch达83%,步骤减少35%
- 适用于需多步工具调用的复杂推理场景,尤其适合追求效率的研究者
大型语言模型(LLMs)在配备外部工具时展现出强大的复杂推理能力。然而,现有框架大多依赖串行处理,导致在需要大量工具交互的任务中效率低下。本文提出Flash-Searcher,一种基于有向无环图(DAG)的新型并行智能体推理框架,从根本上将执行范式从串行链改为图形化结构。该框架将复杂任务分解为具有明确依赖关系的子任务,支持独立推理路径的并发执行,同时保持逻辑约束。通过动态工作流优化,系统可依据中间结果持续重构执行图,并集成摘要模块。在多个基准测试中的全面评估表明,Flash-Searcher持续优于现有方法:在BrowseComp上达到67.7%准确率,在xbench-DeepSearch上达83%,相较当前框架最多减少35%的执行步骤。此外,将此并行推理流程蒸馏至单一模型后,多种主干架构均显著提升性能,证明了方法的通用性。本工作标志着智能体架构设计的重要进展,为复杂推理任务提供了更高效、可扩展的新范式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in complex reasoning tasks when equipped with external tools. However, current frameworks predominantly rely on sequential processing, leading to inefficient execution particularly for tasks requiring extensive tool interaction. This paper introduces Flash-Searcher, a novel parallel agent reasoning framework that fundamentally reimagines the execution paradigm from sequential chains to directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Flash-Searcher decomposes complex tasks into subtasks with explicit dependencies, enabling concurrent execution of independent reasoning paths while maintaining logical constraints. Through dynamic workflow optimization, our framework continuously refines the execution graph based on intermediate results, effectively integrating summary module. Comprehensive evaluations across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that Flash-Searcher consistently outperforms existing approaches. Specifically, it achieves 67.7% accuracy on BrowseComp and 83% on xbench-DeepSearch, while reducing agent execution steps by up to 35% compared to current frameworks. Furthermore, when distilling this parallel reasoning pipeline into single models, we observe substantial performance gains across diverse backbone architectures, underscoring the generalizability of our methodology. Our work thus represents a significant advance in agent architecture design, offering a more scalable and efficient paradigm for complex reasoning tasks.
