DeepResearchEval: An Automated Framework for Deep Research Task Construction and Agentic Evaluation

Deep research systems are widely used for multi-step web research, analysis, and cross-source synthesis, yet their evaluation remains challenging. Existing benchmarks often require annotation-intensive task construction, rely on static evaluation dimensions, or fail to reliably verify facts when citations are missing. To bridge these gaps, we introduce DeepResearchEval, an automated framework for deep research task construction and agentic evaluation. For task construction, we propose a persona-driven pipeline generating realistic, complex research tasks anchored in diverse user profiles, applying a two-stage filter Task Qualification and Search Necessity to retain only tasks requiring multi-source evidence integration and external retrieval. For evaluation, we propose an agentic pipeline with two components: an Adaptive Point-wise Quality Evaluation that dynamically derives task-specific evaluation dimensions, criteria, and weights conditioned on each generated task, and an Active Fact-Checking that autonomously extracts and verifies report statements via web search, even when citations are missing.

Panacea: Mitigating Harmful Fine-tuning for Large Language Models via Post-fine-tuning Perturbation

Harmful fine-tuning attack introduces significant security risks to the fine-tuning services. Main-stream defenses aim to vaccinate the model such that the later harmful fine-tuning attack is less effective. However, our evaluation results show that such defenses are fragile--with a few fine-tuning steps, the model still can learn the harmful knowledge. To this end, we do further experiment and find that an embarrassingly simple solution--adding purely random perturbations to the fine-tuned model, can recover the model from harmful behaviors, though it leads to a degradation in the model's fine-tuning performance. To address the degradation of fine-tuning performance, we further propose Panacea, which optimizes an adaptive perturbation that will be applied to the model after fine-tuning. Panacea maintains model's safety alignment performance without compromising downstream fine-tuning performance. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on different harmful ratios, fine-tuning tasks and mainstream LLMs, where the average harmful scores are reduced by up-to 21.2%, while maintaining fine-tuning performance. As a by-product, we analyze the adaptive perturbation and show that different layers in various LLMs have distinct safety affinity, which coincide with finding from several previous study.

Valley3: Scaling Omni Foundation Models for E-commerce

In this work, we present Valley3, an omni multimodal large language model (MLLM) developed for diverse global e-commerce tasks, with unified understanding and reasoning capabilities across text, images, video, and audio. A key feature of Valley3 is its native multilingual audio capability for e-commerce, developed by extending vision-language models to better support crucial audio-visual tasks, particularly in short-video scenarios. To achieve this, we carefully design a four-stage omni e-commerce continued pre-training pipeline, through which Valley3 progressively acquires audio understanding, cross-modal instruction-following, e-commerce domain knowledge, and long-context reasoning capabilities, ultimately evolving into an omni model for diverse e-commerce scenarios. Then, we further improve Valley3 through post-training to encourage long-chain reasoning with controllable reasoning modes, enabling one non-thinking mode and three distinct levels of thinking, thereby balancing inference efficiency in simple scenarios with deep reasoning for complex applications. Moreover, we equip Valley3 with agentic search capabilities to proactively invoke search tools and acquire task-relevant information for e-commerce deep research tasks. To comprehensively assess the capabilities of Valley3, we construct an omni e-commerce benchmark spanning 6 tasks. Experimental results show that Valley3 consistently outperforms strong baselines on our in-house and open-source e-commerce benchmarks, while remaining competitive on general-domain benchmarks.
