Iris-mini and Iris-pro are the strongest open-weight search agents in their class The AllSpark team released Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two open-source search agents built on Qwen models that lead benchmarks among open-weight models in their size classes, according to the accompanying paper. The training data and models also improved performance on tasks they were never trained for, including general tool use and office work.
