MiroMind AI's Argus system introduces a cooperative multi-agent architecture for deep research, leveraging a dynamic evidence graph to enable compositional evidence assembly and targeted information seeking. The system achieved state-of-the-art accuracy on five benchmarks, demonstrating log-linear performance scaling and a 1,200:1 context compression ratio for the orchestrating agent.

Key insights

  • Reframing deep research as compositional evidence assembly on a shared graph enables more efficient, less redundant information gathering compared to independent parallel rollouts.
  • A structured evidence graph allows the orchestrating agent's context to remain compact by providing a summarized view, effectively decoupling its reasoning from the vast amount of raw search output.
  • Training a Navigator with a contrastive reinforcement learning reward successfully teaches the agent to identify weaknesses in gathered evidence and dispatch targeted verification queries.
