MiroMind AI released MiroThinker-1.7 and its proprietary extension MiroThinker-H1, a family of research agents built for long, multi-step reasoning tasks like literature review, financial analysis, and scientific problem-solving. MiroThinker-1.7 comes in two open-source sizes (30B and 235B parameters, Apache 2.0) trained with an agentic mid-training stage that teaches structured planning, contextual reasoning, and tool use across a 256K context window with up to 300 tool calls per task. The 235B model scores 74.0% on BrowseComp, 75.3% on BrowseComp-ZH, and 82.7% on GAIA-Val-165. MiroThinker-H1 adds a verification layer at two levels: local verification evaluates and refines intermediate reasoning steps during inference, while global verification audits the full chain of evidence before committing to a final answer. The result is an 88.2% score on BrowseComp, surpassing every major open and closed model on deep research benchmarks.
Verification actually makes the agent faster, not slower. By filtering out steps that produce no useful information, H1 takes fewer total interaction steps while reaching more accurate answers. For anyone doing serious research work with AI, whether financial due diligence, competitive analysis, or literature surveys, this means fewer hallucinated reasoning chains and more trustworthy final outputs. The open-source 30B mini model alone hits 72.3% on BrowseComp-ZH, making strong research-agent capabilities accessible without massive compute.
The “deep research” category is rapidly becoming the most contested space in AI. OpenSeeker recently showed that open training data can match proprietary search agents. MiroThinker-H1 takes a different approach: rather than better data, it bets on better self-correction. Both share the conviction that open-source research agents can compete with closed ones.
