OneSearch-VL: Unified Multimodal Deep Research Agent for Image and Video

We introduce OneSearch-VL, a unified agent centered on the Visually Grounded Evidence Graph (VGEG), which encodes these dependencies as a shared task-level reference for data construction, process supervision, and operation-level evaluation.

Key points

  • Single-image, multi-image, and video deep research require different visual operations but share a workflow of visual grounding, external retrieval, and fact composition.
  • Our VGEG-based data engine constructs and verifies multi-image and video questions and filters expert trajectories.
  • We further derive the Evidence-aware Visual-Grounded Rubric reward (EVGR) from VGEG annotations to supervise evidence traceability and visual grounding during RL.
  • For fine-grained evaluation, we construct OneSearch-MI-Bench and OneSearch-Video-Bench, organizing questions by the research operations encoded in their VGEGs.
