Iris: Climbing to the Search Frontier
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.04304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two search agents trained at the 35B-A3B and 397B-A17B scales, together with the data pipeline and training recipe behind them. Tasks are reverse-constructed from the hyperlink structure of a web corpus: we author multi-hop chains over an entity graph distilled from a seed page and its out-links, rewrite every non-answer entity into a descriptive reference so that no clue can be resolved by string matching, and admit only questions that a reference model fails closed-book yet solves once the supporting evidence

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
