A$^2$FM: An Adaptive Agent Foundation Model for Tool-Aware Hybrid Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models split into two families: reasoning-centric LLMs, which strengthen internal chain-of-thought reasoning but cannot invoke external tools, and agentic LLMs, which learn to interact with environments and leverage tools but often lag in deep reasoning. This divide arises from fundam…

ACADREASON: Exploring the Limits of Reasoning Models with Academic Research Problems

ICLR 2026poster

In recent years, the research focus of large language models (LLMs) and agents has shifted increasingly from demonstrating novel capabilities to complex reasoning and tackling challenging tasks. However, existing evaluations focus mainly on math/code contests or general tasks, while existing multi-d…

Flash-Searcher: Fast and Effective Web Agents via DAG-Based Parallel Execution

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in complex reasoning tasks when equipped with external tools. However, current frameworks predominantly rely on sequential processing, leading to inefficient execution particularly for tasks requiring extensive tool interaction.…

IV-Bench: A Benchmark for Image-Grounded Video Perception and Reasoning in Multimodal LLMs

ICLR 2026poster

Existing evaluation frameworks for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) primarily focus on image reasoning or general video understanding tasks, largely overlooking the significant role of image context in video comprehension. To bridge this gap, we propose \textbf{IV-Bench}, the first comprehen…

TaskCraft: Automated Generation of Agentic Tasks

ICLR 2026poster

Agentic tasks, which require multistep problem solving with tool use and adaptive reasoning, are becoming increasingly central to the advancement of NLP and AI. Although benchmarks such as GAIA and BrowseComp have advanced agent evaluation, their scalability remains limited by the high cost of human…

LIME: Less Is More for MLLM Evaluation

ACL 2025finding

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are measured on numerous benchmarks like image captioning, visual question answer, and reasoning. However, these benchmarks often include overly simple or uninformative samples, making it difficult to effectively distinguish the performance of different MLLMs…

MAmmoTH-VL: Eliciting Multimodal Reasoning with Instruction Tuning at Scale

ACL 2025long

Open-source multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown significant potential in a broad range of tasks. However, their reasoning capabilities remain constrained by existing instruction-tuning datasets, which were predominately repurposed from academic datasets such as VQA, AI2D, and ChartQA…

MIO: A Foundation Model on Multimodal Tokens

EMNLP 2025

In this paper, we introduce MIO, a novel foundation model built on multimodal tokens, capable of understanding and generating speech, text, images, and videos in an end-to-end, autoregressive manner. While the emergence of large language models (LLMs) and multimodal large language models (MM-LLMs) p

OAgents: An Empirical Study of Building Effective Agents

EMNLP 2025

Recently, Agentic AI has become an increasingly popular field of research. However, we argue that current practices on agent research are far from standard, rigorous scientific research, which makes it hard to conduct apples-to-apples comparisons among and against existing methods. As a result, it i

OmniBench: Towards The Future of Universal Omni-Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have focused on integrating multiple modalities, yet their ability to simultaneously process and reason across different inputs remains underexplored. We introduce OmniBench, a novel benchmark designed to evaluate models’ ability to rec…

PopAlign: Diversifying Contrasting Patterns for a More Comprehensive Alignment

ACL 2025long

Alignment of large language models (LLMs) involves training models on preference-contrastive output pairs to adjust their responses according to human preferences. To obtain such contrastive pairs, traditional methods like RLHF and RLAIF rely on limited contrasting patterns, such as varying model va…

SuperGPQA: Scaling LLM Evaluation across 285 Graduate Disciplines

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in mainstream academic disciplines such as mathematics, physics, and computer science. However, human knowledge encompasses over 200 specialized disciplines, far exceeding the scope of existing benchmarks. The capabilities of LLMs…
