arXiv:2609.11977v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Co-work agents execute complex workflows that combine information gathering, tool use, coding, and file manipulation across many model invocations. Because cost and latency accumulate over the full episode, their practical value depends not only on peak capability but also on how efficiently that capability is delivered. Yet many steps in everyday work emphasize state tracking, coordination, recovery, and follow-through rather than frontier-scale reasoning. We present Occamy-1.0, a cost-efficient co-work model obtained by further training the post-trained Qwen3.6-35B-A3B checkpoint. We construct execution-grounded data and environments, capture replayable long-horizon trajectories across multiple harnesses, and use staged post-training to develop and consolidate complementary execution capabilities. Across a broad suite of co-work benchmarks, Occamy-1.0 is consistently among the strongest comparably sized models and remains competitive with substantially larger frontier systems on several tasks. Under our stated evaluation and pricing protocol, its aggregate performance across four representative benchmarks places it at the low-cost knee of the observed cost--performance Pareto frontier. Supporting evaluations in tool calling, coding, and instruction following further show that this specialization preserves broad agentic capability. We release the model weights and a subset of the training data to support research on practical co-work agents and agentic post-training.

arXiv:2604.27636v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Predicting stable and metastable structures is central to molecular and materials discovery, but remains limited by the cost of searching high-dimensional energy landscapes. Deep generative models offer efficient structure sampling, yet their outputs remain shaped by training data and can underexplore minima that are rare but physically relevant. We introduce generative structure search (GSS), a unified framework that formulates diffusion-based generation and random structure search (RSS) as limiting regimes of a common sampling process driven by learned score fields and physical forces. Coupling these drivers lets GSS use data priors to accelerate sampling while retaining energy-guided exploration of local minima. Across molecular and crystalline systems, GSS recovers diverse metastable structures with more than tenfold lower sampling cost than RSS for broad coverage and remains effective for compositions outside the training distribution. The results establish a physically grounded generative search strategy for discovering structures beyond the reach of data-driven sampling alone.

arXiv:2603.08117v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advancements in LLM-based information-seeking agents have achieved record-breaking performance on established benchmarks. However, these agents remain heavily reliant on search-engine-indexed knowledge, leaving a critical blind spot: Unindexed Information Seeking (UIS). This paper identifies and explores the UIS problem, where vital information is not captured by search engine crawlers, such as overlooked content, dynamic webpages, and embedded files. Despite its significance, UIS remains an underexplored challenge. To address this gap, we introduce UIS-QA, the first dedicated UIS benchmark, comprising 110 expert-annotated QA pairs. Notably, even state-of-the-art agents experience a drastic performance drop on UIS-QA (e.g., from 70.90 on GAIA and 46.70 on BrowseComp-zh to 24.55 on UIS-QA), underscoring the severity of the problem. To mitigate this, we propose UIS-Digger, a novel multi-agent framework that incorporates dual-mode browsing and enables simultaneous webpage searching and file parsing. With a relatively small $\sim$30B-parameter backbone LLM optimized using SFT and RFT training strategies, UIS-Digger sets a strong baseline at 27.27\%, outperforming systems integrating sophisticated LLMs such as O3 and GPT-4.1. This demonstrates the importance of proactive interaction with unindexed sources for effective and comprehensive information-seeking. Our work not only uncovers a fundamental limitation in current agent evaluation paradigms but also provides the first toolkit for advancing UIS research, defining a new and promising direction for robust information-seeking systems.

arXiv:2603.08148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, large language models (LLMs) have gained much attention for the emergence of human-comparable capabilities and huge potential. However, for open-domain implicit question-answering problems, LLMs may not be the ultimate solution due to the reasons of: 1) uncovered or out-of-date domain knowledge, 2) one-shot generation and hence restricted comprehensiveness. To this end, this work proposes a gradual knowledge excavation framework for open-domain complex question answering, where LLMs iteratively and actively acquire external information, and then reason based on acquired historical knowledge. Specifically, during each step of the solving process, the model selects an action to execute, such as querying external knowledge or performing a single logical reasoning step, to gradually progress toward a final answer. Our method can effectively leverage plug-and-play external knowledge and dynamically adjust the strategy for solving complex questions. Evaluated on the StrategyQA dataset, our method achieves 78.17% accuracy with less than 6% parameters of its competitors, setting new SOTA for ~10B-scale LLMs.

arXiv:2602.19225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-turn LLM agents are becoming pivotal to production systems, spanning customer service automation, e-commerce assistance, and interactive task management, where accurately distinguishing high-value informative signals from stochastic noise is critical for sample-efficient training. In real-world scenarios, a failure in a trivial task may reflect random instability, whereas success in a high-difficulty task signifies a genuine capability breakthrough. Yet, existing group-based policy optimization methods rigidly rely on statistical deviation within discrete batches, frequently misallocating credit when task difficulty fluctuates. To address this issue, we propose Proximity-based Multi-turn Optimization (ProxMO), a practical and robust framework engineered specifically for the constraints of real-world deployment. ProxMO integrates global context via two lightweight mechanisms: success-rate-aware modulation dynamically adapts gradient intensity based on episode-level difficulty, while proximity-based soft aggregation derives baselines through continuous semantic weighting at the step level. Extensive evaluations on ALFWorld and WebShop benchmarks demonstrate that ProxMO yields substantial performance gains over existing baselines with negligible computational cost. Ablation studies further validate the independent and synergistic efficacy of both mechanisms. Crucially, ProxMO offers plug-and-play compatibility with standard GRPO frameworks, facilitating immediate, low-friction adoption in existing industrial training pipelines.
