Agentic search models (5 minute read)
Agentic search models are LLMs trained specifically for orchestrating search tasks, offering smaller, faster, and domain-specific alternatives to general models like GPT-5. They unbundle the traditional monolithic search stack by allowing an intelligent model to manage the entire retrieval process.

AEvo is a meta-editing framework that improves iterative agentic search by separating proposal and evaluation into two roles and using accumulated memory to guide future search. It achieves a 26% relative gain over baselines and state-of-the-art results on open-ended optimization tasks.
Beyond Semantic Similarity: Rethinking Retrieval for Agentic Search via Direct Corpus Interaction
The paper introduces Direct Corpus Interaction (DCI), a novel approach allowing AI agents to query raw text directly using standard terminal tools instead of traditional embedding-based retrieval. By bypassing fixed similarity interfaces and offline indexing, DCI significantly outperforms conventional sparse, dense, and reranking baselines across multiple IR and agentic search benchmarks.
Rethinking Agentic Search with Pi-Serini: Is Lexical Retrieval Sufficient?
This paper introduces Pi-Serini, a BM25-based agentic search system that demonstrates lexical retrieval can suffice for deep search when agents refine queries, achieving high accuracy and reducing costs compared to default settings.
From Web to Pixels: Bringing Agentic Search into Visual Perception
This paper introduces WebEye, a benchmark for object localization requiring external knowledge resolution, and Pixel-Searcher, an agentic approach that connects search results to visual annotations.
