Latest change
The newest item, ScaffoldAgent (Jun 18), moves the focus back to generation: it frames open-ended deep research as multi-round retrieval feeding a coherent long-form report and makes the outline the optimization target via utility-guided, dynamically optimized scaffolding.
Earlier contextThe story so far
In mid-June the target for deep research agents kept moving. AWS shipped a build pattern — an end-to-end competitive research agent on Deep Agents and Bedrock AgentCore with isolated multi-step execution. Then DRFLOW argued the real enterprise goal is predicting a personalized workflow, not generating a report, shifting what the agent is even supposed to optimize.

What to watch — open questions
- Do these competing criteria — personalized workflow prediction versus outline-driven report quality — converge into one benchmark, or stay fragmented?
- Does outline-first generation (ScaffoldAgent) measurably beat report-first approaches on open-ended deep research?
- Will production stacks like Deep Agents + Bedrock AgentCore adopt any of these academic evaluation criteria?
