Looped Language Models Improve Compositional Tool Calling

The paper investigates the use of looped language models for compositional tool calling, where models must coordinate multiple API calls and maintain state across interactions. Experiments on API-Bank, BFCL, and NESTful show that recurrent computation generally improves compositional and dependency-aware tool use, with accuracy increasing as recurrent depth grows. Adaptive inference offers a better compute‑performance trade‑off by allocating extra computation only when necessary.

Chained Recursive Language Models for Multi-Iteration Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 05124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long context reasoning in large language models (LLMs) is usually constrained by the fact that a single inference trajectory has to simultaneously explore the context, store intermediate state, verify evidence, and produce the final answer.

UniToolCall: Unifying Tool-Use Representation, Data, and Evaluation for LLM Agents

UniToolCall introduces a unified framework for tool-use in large language model agents, standardizing toolset construction, dataset generation, and evaluation. The framework aggregates over 22,000 tools and creates a hybrid training corpus of more than 390,000 instances by combining ten public datasets with synthetically generated, structurally controlled trajectories. It models diverse interaction patterns—single‑hop vs. multi‑hop, single‑turn vs. multi‑turn, serial vs. parallel execution—and adds an Anchor Linkage mechanism to enforce cross‑turn dependencies, while converting seven public benchmarks into a common Query–Action–Observation–Answer format for fine‑grained evaluation.

Recursive Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2604. 25917v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recursive or looped language models have recently emerged as a new scaling axis by iteratively refining the same model computation over latent states to deepen reasoning.
