    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements a large language model agent specialized in long-horizon, deep information-seeking tasks using advanced reinforcement learning and synthetic data generation.
    • Delivers state-of-the-art performance on agentic search benchmarks by combining scalable data synthesis, continual pre-training, and token-level policy optimization.
    • Use for developing AI agents that perform complex web-based research and information retrieval over extended interactions.
    • Use for integrating advanced reasoning and search capabilities into applications requiring dynamic, multi-step question answering.
    • Use for experimenting with reinforcement learning techniques to improve large language model agents in non-stationary, real-world environments.

    From the README

    We present Tongyi DeepResearch, an agentic large language model featuring 30.5 billion total parameters, with only 3.3 billion activated per token. Developed by Tongyi Lab, the model is specifically designed for long-horizon, deep information-seeking tasks. Tongyi DeepResearch demonstrates state-of-the-art performance across a range of agentic search benchmarks, including Humanity's Last Exam, BrowserComp, BrowserComp-ZH, WebWalkerQA,xbench-DeepSearch, FRAMES and SimpleQA.

    Tongyi DeepResearch builds upon our previous work on the WebAgent project.

    More details can be found in our 📰 Tech Blog.
