Researchers have developed a new method for adapting large language models (LLMs) by enabling them to actively seek information from external sources like Wikipedia and web browsers. This approach, termed "active information seeking," is integrated into a search-based training procedure that maintains and prunes candidate contexts. The method demonstrated significant performance improvements across various domains, including translation, health scenarios, and reasoning tasks, while proving to be data-efficient and generalizable to different models.
