Researchers trained a Deep Research agent with 32 H100s and open-sourced everything

Ohio State University's NLP team has released QUEST-35B, an open-source Deep Research agent trained on approximately 32 NVIDIA H100 GPUs using around 8,000 synthetic samples. The release includes the training recipe, code, weights, and datasets, with benchmark results demonstrating competitive performance against leading closed Deep Research systems. This development is significant for practitioners as it enhances access to high-performance models and methodologies in the open-source domain.
