OpenPipe's ART·E: RL-trained open email agent that beats o3
OpenPipe released ART·E, an Apache 2.0 email research agent built on a 14B Qwen 2.5 backbone, trained on 500K Enron emails plus synthetic Q&A and refined with reinforcement learning. It tops o3 on accuracy (96% vs 90%) while running 5x faster (1.1s median) and 64x cheaper ($0.85 per 1,000 queries), using a simple three-tool loop.
