Agents‑A1 is a 35B Mixture‑of‑Experts 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 evaluate Agents-A1 in real-world agentic and research-oriented workflows across six directions — long-horizon search, engineering tasks, scientific research, instruction following, general agentic tasks, and scientific agentic tasks. Despite operating in the ~35B model class, Agents-A1 delivers highly competitive performance against frontier-scale systems such as GPT-5.5, DeepSeek-V4-pro, and Kimi-K2.6. It achieves overall SOTA results on several challenging benchmarks, including Seal-0 (56.4), HiPhO (46.4), FrontierScience-Olympiad (79.0), FrontierScience-Research (40.00), IFBench (80.6), and IFEval (94.8), while also ranking as the best among comparable models on a broad range of tasks such as BrowseComp (75.5), XBench-DS-2510 (86.0), GAIA (96.0), SciCode (44.3), HLE with tools (47.6), and MolBench-bind (56.8). These results show that Agents-A1 combines strong long-horizon search ability, robust scientific reasoning, and reliable instruction following, establishing it as a highly capable and efficient agentic model that narrows the gap with much larger frontier models.

Agent Capability Evaluation

To provide the community with a unified agent evaluation codebase for fair comparison, we have also open-sourced an evaluation framework for assessing agentic models across core capabilities, including tool use and multi-step reasoning. The evaluation code is included in the Agents-A1/evaluation of this repository.

We use this framework to evaluate the released model under a standardized and reproducible setting. Specifically, the model is tested on a set of agent-oriented tasks that require it to understand user goals, decompose complex instructions, interact with tools or environments when necessary, and produce final results. The evaluation results reported in Model Card are generated using the open-source framework above, so that users can reproduce the experiments, compare other models under the same protocol, and further extend the benchmark for new agent scenarios. (Note that: To ensure a fair comparison, we report the benchmark results from their original technical reports. If a model does not report the corresponding benchmark results, we evaluate it using the same evaluation protocol as our model.)

For detailed evaluation scripts, task definitions, metrics, and reproduction instructions, please refer to the evaluation codebase.
