Ant Group & RUC Introduce SearchOS: Shared Memory Prevents Search Agent Loops

To address the issue of AI search agents getting stuck in loops instead of finding answers, Ant Group and Renmin University of China introduced SearchOS, a multi-agent framework.
The core mechanism of SearchOS is providing a shared memory for all search agents. Instead of working blindly, agents track progress through a common state that logs completed tasks, gathered evidence, coverage gaps, and past failures, ensuring the team never repeats a dead-end.
Additionally, a smart scheduler fills idle slots by assigning the most promising unfinished work, while a middleware layer monitors stalled searches and steps in before time and budget run out. On the WideSearch and GISA benchmarks, SearchOS outperformed all single-agent and multi-agent baselines in quality, completeness, and efficiency for open-domain information seeking.
