Sage‑A1.5 is a 35B Mixture‑of‑Experts agentic model based on Qwen3.6 and Agents-A1 from Shanghai AI Laboratory, built to advance long-horizon scientific problem solving through adaptive capability composition. Building upon A1, Sage‑A1.5 learns not only to solve individual tasks, but also to organize work and revise its approach during execution, highlighting three key capabilities: Agentic Orchestration, Verification, and Open Scientific Discovery.
First, agentic orchestration extends single-agent execution through task delegation and parallel collaboration among subagents with isolated contexts, enabling complex tasks to be decomposed and addressed concurrently while reducing interference across concurrent subagents. Second, agentic verification strengthens long-horizon reliability through progress checking, evidence validation, and reflective strategy revision, allowing Sage‑A1.5 to recognize unproductive search paths and pursue alternative approaches. Third, open scientific discovery extends agentic capabilities beyond answering predefined questions to conducting exploratory research, connecting scientific inquiry with interactive analysis and inspectable research artifacts. We hope Sage‑A1.5 provides the community with an accessible foundation for open scientific discovery, offering a practical path from long-horizon task execution to collaborative, verifiable, and inspectable scientific exploration.
We welcome developers and enterprises to integrate and try Sage-A1.5 and share their feedback.
We evaluate Sage-A1.5 in real-world agentic and research-oriented workflows across six directions — long-horizon search, engineering tasks, instruction following, scientific research, general agentic tasks, and scientific agentic tasks. Despite operating in the ~35B model class, Sage-A1.5 delivers highly competitive performance against frontier-scale systems such as Kimi-K3, GLM-5.3, and GPT-5.6-sol. It achieves overall SOTA on XBench-DS-2510 (92.0), IFBench (81.6), PinchBench (90.0), FrontierScience-Olympiad (81.0), FrontierScience-Research (48.3), CMT (80.0), and OmniDocBench (91.5), and reaches 95.1 on GAIA — higher than every larger-scale model we compare against. Among comparable ~35B models it ranks first on a broad range of tasks, including BrowseComp (81.7), SWE-bench Pro (61.2), MLE-Lite (65.2), SciCode (44.3, tied with Agents-A1), AA-LCR (81.0), HLE w/ tools (55.1), VitaBench (45.4), and ChemCOTBench (66.5). Compared with A1, it improves substantially on engineering and agentic workloads (SWE-bench Pro +17.6, SWE-bench Multilingual +14.0, PinchBench +13.1, MLE-Lite +21.3). These results show that Sage-A1.5 combines strong long-horizon search ability, robust scientific reasoning, and reliable instruction following, establishing it as a highly capable and efficient agentic model that narrows the gap with much larger frontier models.

🚀 Larger-scale Models
[!Note] SWE-Bench Series: We use the mini-SWE-agent harness with a temperature of 1.0, top-p of 0.95, a 200K-token context window, and automatic context compaction enabled. All evaluations are conducted in a fully offline environment without internet access.
GLM-5.3 on OmniDocBench: GLM-5.3 is a text-only (unimodal) model without multimodal input support, so its results on OmniDocBench, a multimodal benchmark, are not reported.
SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models.
Install SGLang with uv:
