UnverifiedFor any agent-generated statement with real-world consequences, when factual basis is lacking, it is better to express things conservatively than to fill information gaps with anthropomorphic enthusiasm.78% similarUnverifiedWhen Agent results deviate, the completeness of the context should be examined rather than rushing to adjust the prompt.74% similarUnverifiedIf the specification is not written specifically enough, dense rewards will be confidently wrong and cause the Agent to optimize directly into the gap between the specification and reality.74% similarUnverifiedExisting deep research agents often underuse images found in their search trajectories during reasoning, tend to generate answers in a fixed form when generating, and have limited control over report granularity, multimodal composition and evidence grounding.72% similarUnverifiedThe information isolation design (letting the actor see only what the real client can see) is a necessary condition for making research results practically deployable; much multi-agent research stops at simulation precisely because the agents rely on information that cannot be obtained in reality.71% similar
