AllSpark's new Iris-mini and Iris-pro are leading open-weight search agents.

On September 13, 2026, the AllSpark team announced the release of Iris-mini and Iris-pro. These two open-source search agents, built on Qwen models, have achieved top benchmarks among open-weight models within their respective size classes.
According to the accompanying paper, the training data and models for Iris-mini and Iris-pro demonstrated improved performance on tasks they were not specifically trained for. This includes enhanced capabilities in general tool use and office work, indicating a broader applicability for these new search agents.
For our clients, this development means access to powerful new open-weight search agents that can potentially streamline various tasks, from general tool utilization to office productivity. We encourage exploring how these advancements can be integrated into existing workflows to enhance efficiency.
