AchievementModelSep 13, 2026

AllSpark's Iris-mini and Iris-pro, built on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, deliver the strongest results among open-weight search agents in their size classes, per the team's paper. Iris-mini scored 82.2 on BrowseComp; Iris-pro reached 88.6. Training data was reverse-engineered from web link structure, with two-stage filtering and reinforcement learning. Context management boosted Iris-mini's BrowseComp scores by up to 21.2 points. The team reports both models improved on untrained tasks, including general tool use and office work.
