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.

ContextPilot: Teaching Agents for Proactive Context Management via Fine-grained RL

ContextPilot is a proactive context‑management framework designed to improve long‑horizon agentic reasoning with large language models. It expands the toolset to include planning, long‑term memory, and soft context offloading, and introduces a reinforcement‑learning strategy that focuses on critical editing decisions and assigns action‑level advantages. Experiments on long‑context QA and deep search tasks demonstrate that ContextPilot achieves stronger performance with a more compact working context, outperforming existing baselines across various base models and benchmarks.

PIVOT: Bridging Planning and Execution in LLM Agents via Trajectory Refinement

PIVOT (Plan-Inspect-eVOlve Trajectories) is a self‑supervised framework that refines large‑language‑model agent plans by treating trajectories as optimizable objects. It operates in four stages—PLAN, INSPECT, EVOLVE, and VERIFY—using structured losses and textual gradients to iteratively improve trajectories and ensure compliance with task constraints. Experiments on DeepPlanning and GAIA show that PIVOT achieves up to 94% relative improvement in constraint satisfaction with human‑in‑the‑loop feedback and still delivers significant gains autonomously, while using 3x to 5x fewer tokens than competing methods.

SWE-Prime: Fewer Trajectories, Better Performance

SWE-Prime introduces a two-stage supervised fine-tuning data selection process for large language models tackling software issues. The first stage filters entire trajectories by quality and representativeness, while the second stage selects meaningful semantic segments based on contribution, learnability, and risk. Experiments on SWE-Bench Pro and Verified demonstrate that training on just 10% of trajectories chosen by SWE-Prime surpasses full-dataset training, achieving up to 12.2% and 24.2% performance gains.
