Can LLMs build their own tools?
LLM Agents Making Agent Tools
February 18, 2025
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.11705This paper introduces TOOLMAKER, an AI agent that automatically transforms code from research papers into tools usable by other LLM-based agents. This addresses the limitation of current LLM agents that rely on pre-defined tools, thereby expanding their potential for complex, multi-step scientific tasks. A new benchmark, TM-BENCH, was also created to evaluate the effectiveness of these automatically generated tools. TOOLMAKER successfully implemented 80% of the benchmark tasks, outperforming existing methods. This signifies a step towards fully autonomous, agent-driven scientific workflows.
