ModalSearcher introduces an autonomous cross‑modal search framework that lets an agent dynamically choose among direct reasoning, text‑to‑text search, text‑to‑image search, and reverse‑image search, actively incorporating visual evidence as needed. The system builds an interleaved multimodal knowledge graph via a scalable pipeline that samples diverse paths and uses backward question construction to prevent shortcut reasoning. Trained with supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning, ModalSearcher‑8B outperforms Qwen3‑VL‑8B by 16.2 accuracy points across five multimodal knowledge‑intensive QA benchmarks and shows consistent gains on active visual‑search tasks.

AgenticRag‑R1 is a reinforcement‑learning framework that integrates reasoning, retrieval, and memory through a stack and fine‑grained action space. It uses hierarchical action‑aware rewards and an information‑aware trajectory rejection strategy to support long‑horizon learning. Experiments on multi‑hop, open‑domain, and agentic reasoning benchmarks show that AgenticRag‑R1 outperforms strong baselines and produces robust, interpretable, memory‑aware reasoning behaviors.
