| Challenge: | Existing information-seeking (IS) agents rely on the web for their information acquisition. |
| Approach: | They propose a browser-action framework that decouples interaction control from page exploration through a nested structure. |
| Outcome: | Empirical results show that NestBrowse offers clear benefits in practice. |

| Challenge: | Existing work on confidence in LLMs is limited. |
| Approach: | They propose to use confidence scores to determine model answer quality and encourage model to try again until it reaches satisfactory confidence level. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods significantly reduce token consumption while demonstrating competitive performance compared to baseline fixed budget methods. |

| Challenge: | Recent efforts to distill large reasoning models into smaller lightweight models have shown competitive performances. |
| Approach: | They propose to distill long Chain-of-Thought data to improve SFT and RL methods by constructing data from scratch using Monte Carlo Tree Search. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method significantly improves reasoning performance on various benchmarks such as math (GSM8K, MATH, AIME). |
