深度研究智能体在复杂信息检索任务中取得显著进展。尽管长序列的ReAct式推演仅探索单一路径,近期先进系统通过并行搜索与聚合扩展推理计算。然而,深度研究答案由互补证据片段构成,并行推演常导致重复而非补全,造成收益递减且逼近模型上下文极限。我们提出Argus,一个由搜索者与导航者协作的智能体系统,将深度研究视为从互补证据中拼凑完整答案,而非盲目并行求解。搜索者通过ReAct式交互为子查询收集证据轨迹;导航者维护共享证据图,验证缺失项,调度搜索者获取,并基于完成图生成带来源追踪的最终答案。导航者通过强化学习训练以验证、调度和合成,搜索者独立训练为标准ReAct代理。结果表明,导航者支持单个或多个搜索者并行推演而无需重训。基于35B-A3B MoE骨干网络,单搜索者提升5.5分,8个并行搜索者提升12.7分(八项基准平均);64个搜索者在BrowseComp上达86.2,超越所有对比专有智能体,且导航者推理上下文始终低于21.5K tokens。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep research agents have achieved remarkable progress on complex information seeking tasks. Even long ReAct style rollouts explore only a single trajectory, while recent state of the art systems scale inference time compute via parallel search and aggregation. Yet deep research answers are composed of complementary pieces of evidence, which parallel rollouts often duplicate rather than complete, yielding diminishing returns while pushing the aggregation context toward the model's limit. We propose Argus, an agentic system in which a Searcher and a Navigator cooperate to treat deep research as assembling a jigsaw from complementary evidence pieces, rather than brute forcing the whole answer in parallel. The Searcher collects evidence traces for a given sub-query through ReAct-style interaction. The Navigator maintains a shared evidence graph, verifying which pieces are still missing, dispatching Searchers to gather them, and reasoning over the completed graph to produce a source-traced final answer. We train the Navigator with reinforcement learning to verify, dispatch, and synthesize, while independently training the Searcher to remain a standard ReAct agent. The resulting Navigator supports rollouts with a single Searcher or many in parallel without retraining. With both Searcher and Navigator built on a 35B-A3B MoE backbone, Argus gains 5.5 points with a single Searcher and 12.7 points with 8 parallel Searchers, averaged over eight benchmarks. With 64 Searchers it reaches 86.2 on BrowseComp, surpassing every proprietary agent we benchmark, while the Navigator's reasoning context stays under 21.5K tokens.
