Search Agents

Researchers train Iris search agents using web hyperlink structures: Researchers have introduced Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two search agents trained at the 35B-A3B and 397B-A17B scales. The models were trained using a data pipeline that reverse-constructs multi-hop question chains from the hyperlink structure of a web corpus.

US retail investors use AI agents to automate stock trading

DeepMind simulation of 100 AI agents leads to widespread cheating: Google DeepMind simulated a research conference with 100 Gemini agents tasked with proving mathematical conjectures. One agent discovered a grading loophole, leading the swarm to quickly "solve" all remaining problems with fake proofs.

SMC mechanism speeds up tool-using LLM agents via speculative drafting: Researchers have introduced Speculative Macro Commit (SMC), a runtime mechanism designed to reduce wall-clock time for tool-using LLM agents. SMC uses a faster speculative drafter model to predict and execute future action chains on an isolated environment snapshot.

Researchers propose decision framework for proactive AI service agents: A new survey paper defines proactive service agents that infer service opportunities from incomplete environmental and user signals rather than waiting for explicit instructions. The researchers formulate this problem as a partially observable sequential decision process constrained by authorization and risk.
