T-Search: open agentic retriever hits 61.3 Recall@10, beats larger open models

_reachsumit · x · 2026-10-06

T-Search is an open-weight agentic retriever for hard multi-step search: given a question and a search tool over a fixed corpus, it runs bounded multi-round search and returns ranked evidence chunks with justifications, leaving generation to a swappable downstream model. Built on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, trained with round-sliced SFT then GSPO on a recall reward over adversarially filtered synthetic tasks. Averaged over 7 English and Russian benchmarks, it reaches 56.0 Recall@10 with one rollout (+14.4 over base) and 61.3 with three fused rollouts, outperforming larger open models. Model, harness, live demo and three benchmarks released, including TRuST, the first native-Russian hard-search benchmark.
