GRADS: Graph-Regulated Agentic Data Synthesis with Controllable Difficulty

Read the original on arXiv AI →

GRADS is a graph-guided framework for generating synthetic data that explicitly controls difficulty by maintaining a graph of evidence and inference dependencies. It iteratively selects seeds, expands evidence, constructs question–answer pairs, and verifies them, ensuring that each generated task contains only indispensable inference steps. Experiments across security, software engineering, and scientific domains show that GRADS produces verified tasks with distinct difficulty levels, and training models on this data yields significant performance gains, including high solution-termination rates and reduced tool usage.

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.
