Researchers from Ohio State University have developed and open-sourced QUEST-35B, a Deep Research agent. This agent was trained using approximately 32 H100 GPUs and a dataset of around 8,000 synthetic samples. Benchmark results indicate that QUEST-35B performs competitively with several leading Deep Research systems, prompting discussion about the remaining gaps between open-source and frontier closed systems.
