Abstract
A large language model trained on synthesized delegation intelligence achieves superior performance on long-horizon research tasks through task decomposition and subagent coordination.
Large language modelsare increasingly expected to handle complex, long-horizon real-world tasks whose context demands can grow without bound, yet modelcontext windowsremain inherently finite. Recent work explores a paradigm where a main agent decomposes tasks and dispatches subtasks tosubagents, which execute and return only summarized results, conserving the main agent’s context budget. However, performing this well requiresdelegation intelligence: the ability to decompose complex tasks, determine when and what to delegate, and integrate returned results into the ongoing workflow. Training data for this capability is scarce in naturally occurring text, and to our knowledge, how to synthesize such data and train models to acquire this capability remains largely unexplored in the open-source community. To bridge this gap, we present a preliminary exploration targeting deep research, a representative long-horizon agent task. Specifically, we design a harness that guides the model toward high-qualitytask decompositionand delegation, while constrainingsubagentsto return results properly to support the main agent’s workflow. The harness-guided trajectories naturally encode correct delegation decisions, which we use assupervised fine-tuningdata to internalizedelegation intelligenceinto model weights. Our resulting model,SearchSwarm-30B-A3B, achieves 68.1 onBrowseCompand 73.3 onBrowseComp-ZH, the best results among all models of comparable scale. We will release our harness, model weights, and training data to facilitate future research.
