Researchers from the Soochow University of China have introduced Chain-of-Tools (CoTools), a novel framework designed to enhance how large language models (LLMs) use external tools. CoTools aims to provide a more efficient and flexible approach compared to existing methods. This will allow LLMs to leverage vast toolsets directly within their reasoning process, including ones they haven’t explicitly been trained on.
For enterprises looking to build sophisticated AI agents, this capability could unlock more powerful and adaptable applications without the typical drawbacks of current tool integration techniques.
The challenge of equipping LLMs with tools
While modern LLMs excel at text generation, understanding and even complex reasoning, they need to interact with external resources and tools such as databases or applications...
