WeAgent-MMSearch: Native Text-Vision Interaction for Multimodal Search Agents

WeAgent-MMSearch introduces a multimodal search agent that preserves retrieved images as persistent references, enabling the model to inspect, process, and cite them throughout a search trajectory. The system includes a harness (WeAgent-Harness), a post‑training method (FA‑GSPO) that recovers salvageable rollouts, and a new benchmark (VisTarget‑Bench) to evaluate image‑retrieval versus visual‑perception failures. Evaluation shows that agentic post‑training boosts performance by 19.22 points, allowing the model to outperform similarly sized open‑source models and compete with much larger ones.

AgentVidBench: A Multi-Hop Video Question Answering Benchmark for Evaluating MLLM Agents

AgentVidBench is a new multi‑hop video question‑answering benchmark designed to evaluate spatial, temporal, and causal reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Unlike existing tests that focus on simple scene queries or global summaries, AgentVidBench includes step‑by‑step solution traces to assess whether agents gather the necessary evidence to justify their answers. Experiments with 12 MLLMs show limited single‑turn performance, but integrating these models into agentic workflows improves both accuracy and trajectory scores, establishing AgentVidBench as a comprehensive testbed for future research on agentic video understanding.

Incident-Arena: Getting agents to the last nine of reliability

Incident‑Arena is a new benchmark for AI coding agents focused on production incident response, featuring 20 tasks derived from real‑world open‑source software. Each task deploys a production application on an ephemerally created Kubernetes cluster, injects faults at various layers, and applies a sustained load profile. The benchmark introduces functional verifiers that maintain system‑level metrics while ensuring safe repairs, and shows that current frontier models achieve below 64.3% across the tasks, highlighting challenges in diagnosis, repair, and regression safety.

Lightweight, Rubric-Guided Trajectory Evaluation for Production AI Agents

LiteTrajEval is a lightweight architecture designed for budget‑bounded trajectory evaluation of large‑language‑model agents. It creates compact domain‑specific rule profiles offline, preprocesses trajectories online to flag heuristic failure signals, and then uses a single rubric‑guided LLM judge to generate structured diagnostic reports. On public Magnetic‑One‑style and τ‑bench‑style datasets, LiteTrajEval improves failure‑localization alignment with human annotations by 20–35 percentage points and reduces cost and evaluation time by 6× and 8× respectively, and has been deployed in an enterprise agentic platform.
