DeepSearch-Evolve framework trains web agents via self-distillation in verifiable environment

Researchers have introduced DeepSearch-Evolve, a self-distillation framework designed to train web agents. This framework utilizes DeepSearch-World, a verifiable environment containing 420,000 multi-hop question-answering tasks. The system supports agentic behaviors like progress verification and failure recovery, enabling agents to improve from their own experiences without relying on external models. The DeepSearch-World-9B model, trained using this method, has demonstrated competitive performance on benchmarks such as BrowseComp and HotpotQA. AI

IMPACT Enables scalable self-evolution for long-horizon web agents, potentially improving their performance on complex tasks.

    DeepSearch-World: Self-Distillation for Deep Search Agents in a Verifiable Environment

    Training tool-use agents to improve from their own experience remains challenging, as supervised fine-tuning relies on fixed teacher-distilled trajectories, while sparse-reward reinforcement learning provides weak supervision for long-horizon interactions. We present DeepSearch-E…
