• 2026.7.2: 🔥🔥 Based on Agents-A1, we have released a series of quantized model variants. Please refer to the Agents-A1 collection. Besides, we’d like to thank the mlx-community for providing quantized versions at multiple scales. Try running Agents-A1 on your Mac!

• 2026.6.26: 🔥🔥 We have open-sourced the Agents-A1 35B-A3B model, along with the evaluation code for selected domains and the technical report.

Agents‑A1 is a long-horizon agentic model from InternScience, built to scale heterogeneous agentic abilities across multiple domains including Long‑horizon Search, Engineering, Scientific Research, Instruction Following, and Tool-calling. We investigate agent-horizon scaling from two perspectives: scaling long-horizon trajectories and scaling heterogeneous agent abilities.

From the scaling of long-horizon trajectories, Agents‑A1 is trained with the assistance of a domain-grounded knowledge-action infrastructure that jointly constructs actions, observations, and verifier outcomes, turning the agent's process into a trainable target. From the scaling of heterogeneous agent abilities, Agents‑A1 presents a three-stage training paradigm for building scalable general-purpose agentic model. First, we perform full-domain supervised fine-tuning to align the base model with broad agentic behaviors. Second, we train domain-level teacher models to capture specialized expertise in each domain. Third, we propose multi-teacher multi-domain on-policy distillation with heterogeneity-aware optimization to improve knowledge transfer efficiency across different domains.

Highlights

• Agentic Reasoning: Agents-A1 excels at decomposing complex tasks into executable sub-steps, planning ahead, and adapting its strategy based on intermediate results.
• Tool Use: Natively supports function calling and tool integration, enabling seamless interaction with APIs, code interpreters, search engines, and other external tools.
• Scientific and Professional Reasoning: Handles tool-integrated scientific reasoning and professional knowledge question answering.
• Instruction Following: Precisely follows detailed, multi-constraint instructions across diverse domains.

We welcome developers and enterprises to integrate and try Agents-A1 and share their feedback.

Performance

We release the dense model Agents-A1-4B with only 4B parameters, yet it delivers impressive performance across long-horizon search, engineering & research, instruction following, and general/scientific agentic tasks. It significantly outperforms similarly-sized models on BrowseComp (66.8), XBench-DS-2510 (90.0), GAIA (95.1), FrontierScience-Research (33.3), and IFEval (94.8), with some scores approaching or even surpassing larger MoE models like Nex-N2-mini and Qwen3.6. Compared to the flagship 35B Agents-A1, the 4B variant achieves strong competitiveness with a fraction of the parameters, demonstrating the series' excellent balance between efficiency and performance, and continuously narrowing the gap between small models and frontier systems.
