Mao and colleagues present WEFT, a framework for scaling tool-use post-training across the entire agent interaction system rather than generating more executable environments alone.

The authors treat tool use as a system involving four connected components: the environment, the assigned task, the agent harness that manages interaction, and the evaluator that determines success.

Why this paper

Independent

In one line

WEFT scales tool-use post-training for general-purpose agents by coupling whole-system interaction construction, execution-driven self-evolution, and stable post-training.
