Data World: Scaling Data Environments from Scratch

Data World proposes a multi‑agent engine that generates synthetic data environments, tasks, and evaluation rubrics by first specifying the underlying world rather than curating real files. The system produces thousands of training tasks across diverse domains and enables independent audits of target recoverability, while human curation ensures realistic question selection. Benchmark results show that models trained on these synthesized tasks still face significant challenges, yet RL‑zero training on the synthetic data yields measurable performance gains over baseline models.

Scaling Agentic Data for Long-Horizon Terminal Intelligence

The paper introduces TerminalHorizon, an automated engine that synthesizes long‑horizon trajectories for terminal agents by reconstructing environments from real‑world professional work and progressively expanding tasks to require further exploration and improvement. Using this engine, the authors create 1.5K task environments and fine‑tune Qwen3.5‑27B, producing TerminalHorizon‑27B, which shows significant performance gains across 12 benchmarks in coding, agentic production tasks, and reasoning. Case studies demonstrate the model’s ability to experiment beyond initial solutions, refine methods based on feedback, and preserve effective improvements in final deliverables.

Scaling Verifiable Environments for Long-horizon Work Agents

The paper introduces WorkForge, a scalable synthesis framework that builds verifiable work‑agent environments from real‑world resources. By extracting factual anchors from expert workflows and associated files, WorkForge generates task instructions, solution plans, and verifiers that remain traceable to observable workspace evidence. The authors constructed 16.7K environments across 40 professional domains, demonstrating significant performance gains for large language models such as Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Base and Qwen3.5-27B.

DeepResearch Bench II: Diagnosing Deep Research Agents via Rubrics from Expert Reports

Deep Research Bench II is a new benchmark designed to evaluate Deep Research Agents (DRAs) by requiring them to produce research reports for 132 grounded tasks across 22 domains. Each report is assessed using 9,430 fine‑grained binary rubrics that cover information recall, analysis, and presentation, all derived from expert‑written investigative articles through a rigorous LLM‑plus‑human pipeline. Evaluation of current state‑of‑the‑art DRAs shows that even the best models satisfy fewer than 50% of these rubrics, highlighting a significant gap between automated agents and human experts.

OpenResearcher: A Fully Open Pipeline for Long-Horizon Deep Research Trajectory Synthesis

OpenResearcher is a fully open, reproducible pipeline for generating long‑horizon deep research trajectories that interleave search, evidence aggregation, and multi‑step reasoning. It decouples corpus bootstrapping from trajectory synthesis and runs the search‑and‑browse loop offline using three browser primitives over a 15M‑document corpus. Using GPT‑OSS‑120B as a teacher, the pipeline produced over 97K trajectories, enabling a 30B‑A3B model to achieve 54.8% accuracy on BrowseComp‑Plus and providing insights into pipeline design through controlled analysis.
