MMSearch-R1 uses reinforcement learning to train multimodal models for on-demand multi-turn internet search with image and text tools, outperforming same-size RAG baselines and matching larger ones while cutting search calls by over 30%.
A decoupled training-free IBA framework for KB-VQA selects entities via MLLM candidate choice then ranks evidence with off-the-shelf re-rankers, outperforming coupled fine-tuned baselines on Encyclopedic-VQA and InfoSeek.
HyperEyes presents a parallel multimodal search agent using dual-grained efficiency-aware RL with a new TRACE reward and IMEB benchmark, claiming 9.9% higher accuracy and 5.3x fewer tool calls than prior open-source agents.
DR-MMSearchAgent derives batch-wide trajectory advantages and uses differentiated Gaussian rewards to prevent premature collapse in multimodal agents, outperforming MMSearch-R1 by 8.4% on FVQA-test.
An 8B multimodal search model trained with Agentic Seeding and V-Fold visual-history compression reaches state-of-the-art scores on six web-search VQA benchmarks.
WebWatcher introduces a vision-language deep research agent trained on synthetic multimodal trajectories and RL that outperforms baselines on VQA benchmarks, along with a new BrowseComp-VL evaluation.
A sandbox-trained multimodal search agent with process-oriented rewards transfers zero-shot to real Google Search and outperforms prior methods on FVQA, InfoSeek, and MMSearch.
SimpleSearch-VL improves Qwen3-VL multimodal agent baselines by 15.8-16 points on average using 7K total training examples and reaches parity with Gemini-3-Pro on the 30B variant.
