ToolGate: An Executable Acceptance Pipeline for Tool-Dependent Scientific Benchmark Construction

Read the original on arXiv AI →

ToolGate is an executable acceptance pipeline designed to streamline the creation of scientific benchmarks that rely on specialist software. It evaluates each model-generated item through three gates: (1) an executable solution script must reproduce the proposed answer, (2) a randomized no‑tool screen rejects items solvable without the software, and (3) a tool‑using agent must solve the item within a time limit. In a FEniCSx instantiation, 500 generation attempts produced 128 unique, verified benchmark items after successive filtering.

Policy as Code: A Coroutine-Bridge Harness for Fast-Reasoning Reliability on CAR-bench

The paper introduces a coroutine-bridge harness that lets a language model emit a Python program to manage tool calls in the CAR-bench evaluation. By decoupling model invocations from tool round-trips, the approach reduces model calls to a median of two per task while maintaining seven agent turns, achieving a median latency of 1.8 s on a Cerebras gpt‑oss‑120b. The harness achieved 60.0 % Pass³ on the official hidden evaluation, outperforming the baseline by 4.5× and matching frontier-model agents on GPT‑5.5, all while keeping the prompt largely cached and minimizing input compute.
