LongCat-DeepResearch Technical Report

LongCat-DeepResearch is a deep research system that merges an enhanced LongCat model with a multi‑agent workflow to produce comprehensive, evidence‑grounded reports. The workflow separates global planning from detailed investigation, using planning agents to create a ResearchSpec and research agents to draft sections in parallel, followed by targeted local revisions guided by global review. The system achieves strong benchmark scores, including 55.25 on DeepResearchBench and 79.83 on ResearchRubrics, and shows benefits from combining planning perspectives and additional editing for readability.

ConvergeWriter: Data-Driven Bottom-Up Article Construction

ConvergeWriter introduces a bottom‑up, data‑driven framework for long‑form document generation that first retrieves exhaustive knowledge from a source corpus and clusters it into distinct knowledge groups. These clusters then guide the creation of a hierarchical outline and the final text, ensuring the output is strictly grounded in the retrieved material and traceable to its sources. Experiments on 14B and 32B LLMs show that this approach matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines, especially in scenarios requiring high factual fidelity and structural coherence.
