PrimeSeeker: Capability-Oriented Supervision for Deep Search Agents
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.35816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model search agents are often trained with synthetic questions whose difficulty is increased through larger evidence graphs, additional hops, and longer trajectories. These global properties, however, are only indirect proxies for the local retrieval capabilities required during search. To address this mismatch, we introduce latent anchor reasoning, which consists of resolving an unnamed retrieval anchor from descriptive specifications and transferring the recovered anchor into a subsequent information demand.
