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.

WeAgent-MMGenEdit is a comprehensive framework for multimodal agentic image generation and editing that addresses the unreliability of current models when prompts require external world knowledge. It introduces a multimodal harness with persistent evidence management, a scalable data construction pipeline producing 23K supervised trajectories and 14.7K RL tasks, and a bilingual benchmark (WeBench-MMGenEdit) for knowledge-intensive generation and multi-image editing. Post‑training methods based on SFT and RL further refine the agent policy and image backend, enabling a 30B‑parameter policy to outperform similarly sized models and approach the performance of a 1T‑parameter agent.

EviRover is a perception agent that goes beyond a single glance by actively gathering information to resolve perceptual queries. The authors created two data generation pipelines, producing EviRover-SFT-5K and EviRover-RL-12K, and a human‑verified benchmark called EviLens with 688 instances across five perception categories. Trained with supervised fine‑tuning and agentic reinforcement learning, the 4B EviRover outperforms its backbone by an average of 30 points on EviLens and shows strong transfer to other benchmarks such as WebEyes and BrowseComp‑VL.
