Exploring Information Seeking Agent Consolidation
Researchers present the first systematic study consolidating specialized information-seeking agents into a single foundation model, comparing data-level mixing with parameter-level merging across 26 methods and 10 benchmarks. Parameter-level merging achieves comparable performance to data mixing at significantly lower training cost while better preserving out-of-domain capabilities, offering practical efficiency gains for cross-domain AI deployment.
