Presenting BrowseComp-Plus at ACL2026, Sunday July 5th, 14:00 - 15:30, Harbor G Oral Session.
We are grateful to the many submissions over the past year: helping accelerate agent, search, memory development for Opus 4.5, a significant leap from Opus 4 in agentic ability; the wonderful KARL team at Databricks (cc @mrdrozdov) for enterprise deep research agents; cool multi-agent works from Google; incredible open source efforts like OpenResearcher (@zhuofengli96475, @DongfuJiang); and crazy ideas such as RLM (@a1zhang, @lateinteraction). We greatly appreciate the community for building on BrowseComp-Plus and sharing our vision.
Coming from a retrieval perspective, we are equally excited about a less well known, but fundamental task: how should search be designed for agents, that increasingly overtake human searchers? BrowseComp-Plus establishes this task. We are honoured to have retrieval superstars (@bclavie, @antoine_chaffin, and many) aligned with this goal (check them out!), and we think more: search agents, search for search agents, search with search agents.
Let's chat!
