Orchestra-o1: Omnimodal Agent Orchestration

The recent success of agent swarms has shifted the paradigm of large language model (LLM)-based agents from single-agent workflows to multi-agent systems, highlighting the importance of agent orchestration for task decomposition and collaboration. However, existing orchestration frameworks are limited to a narrow set of modalities and struggle to generalize to more complex settings where heterogeneous modalities coexist and interact. This limitation becomes particularly pronounced in omnimodal scenarios, where tasks require the unified understanding and coordination of diverse inputs such as text, image, audio, and video. In this work, we propose Orchestra-o1, an omnimodal agent orchestration framework designed to support efficient agent collaboration across multiple modalities. Orchestra-o1 introduces a unified orchestration mechanism that enables modality-aware task decomposition, online sub-agent specialization, and parallel sub-task execution. This scalable design allows agent systems to effectively tackle complex real-world tasks involving heterogeneous information sources, surpassing the second-best approach by 10.3% accuracy on the OmniGAIA benchmark. Furthermore, we introduce decision-aligned group relative policy optimization (DA-GRPO), an efficient agentic reinforcement learning approach for training Orchestra-o1-8B, which also achieves state-of-the-art performance against all existing open-source omnimodal agents.

Struct-Searcher: Agentic Structural Thinking Advances Multimodal Deep Information Seeking

Deep research agents have attracted increasing attention for their ability to collect large-scale online information to acquire target knowledge, with recent efforts shifting from purely text-based information seeking to multimodal settings. However, existing agentic workflows are largely aligned with evidence accumulation models, which linearly aggregate evidence and lack principled mechanisms for handling contradictory information across heterogeneous modalities. Towards this end, we propose Struct-Searcher, a structural agentic workflow grounded in belief revision theory that explicitly maintains an evolving multimodal structural graph throughout the reasoning process, enabling effective conflict-aware multimodal deep information seeking. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmark datasets and backbone models demonstrate that Struct-Searcher is (1) plug-and-play and model-agnostic, yielding an average relative accuracy improvement of 17.2% on BrowseComp-VL across five different backbones. (2) top-performing, consistently outperforming state-of-the-art vision-language models (VLMs) and deep research agents, with relative accuracy improvements of 3.7% on MM-BrowseComp, 1.5% on HLE-VL, and 0.7% on BrowseComp-VL over the second-best competing approach.

Dynamic Mixture of Latent Memories for Self-Evolving Agents

Achieving self-evolution in intelligent agents requires the continual accumulation of new knowledge across changing task sequences without forgetting previously acquired abilities. Existing approaches either internalize knowledge by updating model parameters, which induces catastrophic forgetting, or rely on external memory, which fails to genuinely enhance the model's intrinsic capabilities. We propose MoLEM, a generative mixture of latent memory framework based on a dynamic mixture-of-experts (MoE). We treat multiple experts as independent carriers to generate memory. A router selects and weights experts through key-query matching, and the aggregated latent memory is injected into the reasoning process. The base model for reasoning remains entirely frozen, with all experiential knowledge internalized into the additional modules, avoiding catastrophic forgetting. For continual learning, each training stage is paired with a lightweight autoencoder that selects the appropriate routing group at inference, and inputs that match no stage fall back to the pretrained model. Experiments train the framework on continual-learning sequences spanning math, science, and code domains. After training, we evaluate the framework on the corresponding test sets to measure task learning and competence preservation across continual adaptation stages. After the full continual-learning sequence, our method improves the average accuracy by 10.40% over the Vanilla pretrained baseline, while none of the competing methods consistently exceed this baseline across different training orders.

MineEvolve: Self-Evolution with Accumulated Knowledge for Long-Horizon Embodied Minecraft Agents

Long-horizon embodied intelligence requires agents to improve through interaction, not merely to execute plans generated from static goals. A central challenge is therefore to transform past executions into knowledge that can shape future decisions. Minecraft provides a representative testbed for this problem, where tasks such as crafting tools, building redstone components, and obtaining diamond equipment involve long prerequisite chains and are frequently disrupted by missing tools, blocked paths, GUI failures, or stagnant execution. To this end, we propose \textbf{MineEvolve}, a knowledge-driven self-evolution framework that converts execution feedback into actionable behavioral knowledge. MineEvolve first uses \underline{\emph{\textbf{\ding{182}Monitor}}} to convert each subgoal execution into typed feedback, including state changes, inventory changes, failure types, progress signals, and stagnation indicators. \underline{\emph{\textbf{\ding{183}Inducer}}} then derives reusable skills from successful executions and remedies from failed or stagnant executions. \underline{\emph{\textbf{\ding{184}Curator}}} validates, merges, filters, and retrieves these knowledge entries, while \underline{\emph{\textbf{\ding{185}Adaptor}}} uses them to repair the unfinished part of the plan under repeated failures or stagnation. Experiments on the Minecraft MCU long-horizon task suite show that MineEvolve consistently improves performance across multiple language-model planners, with larger gains on high-dependency task groups. Ablation and knowledge-accumulation studies further demonstrate that converting execution signals into structured behavioral knowledge is an effective path toward self-evolving embodied agents in long-horizon environments.
