1. WebDancer: Towards Autonomous Information Seeking Agency (2025 · 50 citations)
   WebDancer addresses how to train, from scratch, an open web agent that can carry out the long, multi-step research associated with systems like Deep Research.
2. ReSum: Unlocking Long-Horizon Search Intelligence via Context Summarization (2025 · 26 citations)
   Web agents built on LLMs often fail on hard multi-hop questions. The ReAct loop keeps adding every search result to the prompt, so the context window fills up before the agent finds the answer. Earlier fixes such as MEM1 or MemAgent change the model's architecture and require full retraining. ReSum avoids this with a…
3. BrowseConf: Confidence-Guided Test-Time Scaling for Web Agents (2026)
   The paper asks whether LLM-based web search agents can meaningfully report how sure they are after long chains of browsing and reasoning.
