SciResearcher: Scaling Deep Research Agents for Frontier Scientific Reasoning

Frontier scientific reasoning is rapidly emerging as a key foundation for advancing AI agents in automated scientific discovery. Deep research agents offer a promising approach to this challenge. These models develop robust problem-solving capabilities through post-training on information-seeking tasks, which are typically curated via knowledge graph construction or iterative web browsing. However, these strategies face inherent limitations in frontier science, where domain-specific knowledge is scattered across sparse and heterogeneous academic sources, and problem solving requires sophisticated computation and reasoning far beyond factual recall. To bridge this gap, we introduce SciResearcher, a fully automated agentic framework for frontier-science data construction. SciResearcher synthesizes diverse conceptual and computational tasks grounded in academic evidence, while eliciting information acquisition, tool-integrated reasoning, and long-horizon capabilities. Leveraging the curated data for supervised fine-tuning and agentic reinforcement learning, we develop SciResearcher-8B, an agent foundation model that achieves 19.46% on the HLE-Bio/Chem-Gold benchmark, establishing a new state of the art at its parameter scale and surpassing several larger proprietary agents. It further achieves 13-15% absolute gains on SuperGPQA-Hard-Biology and TRQA-Literature benchmarks. Overall, SciResearcher introduces a new paradigm for automated data construction for frontier scientific reasoning and offers a scalable path toward future scientific agents.

GCS: Graph-based Coordination Strategy for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Many real-world scenarios involve a team of agents that have to coordinate their policies to achieve a shared goal. Previous studies mainly focus on decentralized control to maximize a common reward and barely consider the coordination among control policies, which is critical in dynamic and complicated environments. In this work, we propose factorizing the joint team policy into a graph generator and graph-based coordinated policy to enable coordinated behaviours among agents. The graph generator adopts an encoder-decoder framework that outputs directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to capture the underlying dynamic decision structure. We also apply the DAGness-constrained and DAG depth-constrained optimization in the graph generator to balance efficiency and performance. The graph-based coordinated policy exploits the generated decision structure. The graph generator and coordinated policy are trained simultaneously to maximize the discounted return. Empirical evaluations on Collaborative Gaussian Squeeze, Cooperative Navigation, and Google Research Football demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

Offline Pre-trained Multi-Agent Decision Transformer: One Big Sequence Model Tackles All SMAC Tasks

Offline reinforcement learning leverages previously-collected offline datasets to learn optimal policies with no necessity to access the real environment. Such a paradigm is also desirable for multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) tasks, given the increased interactions among agents and with the enviroment. Yet, in MARL, the paradigm of offline pre-training with online fine-tuning has not been studied, nor datasets or benchmarks for offline MARL research are available. In this paper, we facilitate the research by providing large-scale datasets, and use them to examine the usage of the Decision Transformer in the context of MARL. We investigate the generalisation of MARL offline pre-training in the following three aspects: 1) between single agents and multiple agents, 2) from offline pretraining to the online fine-tuning, and 3) to that of multiple downstream tasks with few-shot and zero-shot capabilities. We start by introducing the first offline MARL dataset with diverse quality levels based on the StarCraftII environment, and then propose the novel architecture of multi-agent decision transformer (MADT) for effective offline learning. MADT leverages transformer's modelling ability of sequence modelling and integrates it seamlessly with both offline and online MARL tasks. A crucial benefit of MADT is that it learns generalisable policies that can transfer between different types of agents under different task scenarios. On StarCraft II offline dataset, MADT outperforms the state-of-the-art offline RL baselines. When applied to online tasks, the pre-trained MADT significantly improves sample efficiency, and enjoys strong performance both few-short and zero-shot cases. To our best knowledge, this is the first work that studies and demonstrates the effectiveness of offline pre-trained models in terms of sample efficiency and generalisability enhancements in MARL.
