Pros & cons

Pros

Tool creation for disentangling abstract and concrete reasoning; EMNLP Findings.

Cons

Created tools quality varies; tool reuse across domains is brittle.

Claims & capabilities

Disentangles abstract tool creation and concrete decision execution; LLMs autonomously generate custom tools using documentation and code. Headline: 59.7% on MATH, 94.7% on TabMWP, 75.5% on the new Creation Challenge; baselines: chain-of-thought, program-of-thought (with/without rectification), tool-use (WolframAlpha API); primary datasets: MATH, TabMWP, and the introduced Creation Challenge (~2K problems).
