Feedback-Driven Tool-Use Improvements in Large Language Models via Automated Build Environments

Junjie Ye, Changhao Jiang, Zhengyin Du +8

Effective tool use is essential for large language models (LLMs) to interact with their environment. However, progress is limited by the lack of efficient reinforcement learning (R…
