New research probes how foundation models influence information-seeking agents

A new paper explores how different foundation models influence open-ended information-seeking behavior in agentic elicitation. Researchers analyzed judgments about information value across 11 LLMs from various families and scales, finding that model choice significantly shapes sequential information-seeking strategies. The study developed a controlled simulation to isolate these model-specific preferences and examined how interaction history impacts information evaluation and selection. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more sophisticated and adaptable AI agents capable of complex information gathering.

    On Open-Ended Information Seeking for Information Elicitation Agents

    arXiv:2610.07509v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Information elicitation is an open-ended information-seeking problem in which an interaction can unfold in many potentially valuable directions, requiring an elicitor to continually determine which information to pursue as new infor…
