ToolWeave: Structured Synthesis of Complex Multi-Turn Tool-Calling Dialogues

Multi-turn tool calling is essential for LLMs to function as autonomous agents, yet synthesizing the training data required for these capabilities remains a fundamental challenge. Existing synthetic data generation pipelines often produce unrealistic dialogues for two reasons: they chain tools that are only superficially compatible rather than aligned with meaningful user tasks, and they generate dialogues in one shot, which often introduces arguments that were neither provided by the user nor produced by prior tool calls. These issues also lead to a severe underrepresentation of multi-step tool interactions. We introduce ToolWeave, a structured framework for synthesizing realistic multi-turn tool-calling dialogues. ToolWeave support realistic multi-step workflows (or tool sequences) by constructing tools with built-in dependencies and filters the workflows based on alignment with user goals. It reduces parameter hallucination by using a fine-grained planning stage that explicitly tracks parameter provenance. As a result, ToolWeave-generated synthetic dialogues contain more multi-step tool interactions (45%) and fewer hallucinations in parameters and tool names. Consequently, LLMs fine-tuned on ToolWeave consistently outperform those fine-tuned on prior datasets across three public benchmarks. Notably, Llama-3.1-70B fine-tuned on ToolWeave achieves 39.75% on BFCL-V3 multi-turn, compared to 23.50% when fine-tuned on SOTA ToolFlow data.

EnterpriseLab: A Full-Stack Platform for developing and deploying agents in Enterprises

Deploying AI agents in enterprise environments requires balancing capability with data sovereignty and cost constraints. While small language models offer privacy-preserving alternatives to frontier models, their specialization is hindered by fragmented development pipelines that separate tool integration, data generation, and training. We introduce EnterpriseLab, a full-stack platform that unifies these stages into a closed-loop framework. EnterpriseLab provides (1) a modular environment exposing enterprise applications via Model Context Protocol, enabling seamless integration of proprietary and open-source tools; (2) automated trajectory synthesis that programmatically generates training data from environment schemas; and (3) integrated training pipelines with continuous evaluation. We validate the platform through EnterpriseArena, an instantiation with 15 applications and 140+ tools across IT, HR, sales, and engineering domains. Our results demonstrate that 8B-parameter models trained within EnterpriseLab match GPT-4o's performance on complex enterprise workflows while reducing inference costs by 8-10x, and remain robust across diverse enterprise benchmarks, including EnterpriseBench (+10%) and CRMArena (+10%). EnterpriseLab provides enterprises a practical path to deploying capable, privacy-preserving agents without compromising operational capability.

Synthetic Data Generation for Training Diversified Commonsense Reasoning Models

Conversational agents are required to respond to their users not only with high quality (i.e. commonsense bearing) responses, but also considering multiple plausible alternative scenarios, reflecting the diversity in their responses. Despite the growing need to train diverse commonsense generators, the progress of this line of work has been significantly hindered by the lack of large-scale high-quality diverse commonsense training datasets. Due to the high annotation costs, existing Generative Commonsense Reasoning (GCR) datasets are created using a small number of human annotators, covering only a narrow set of commonsense scenarios. To address this training resource gap, we propose a two-stage method to create the first-ever synthetic dataset CommonSyn for diversified (GCR). The model fine-tuned on our synthetic data jointly increase both generation diversity and quality compared with vanilla models and the model fine-tuned on human-crafted dataset across different size Large Language Models (LLMs)

SynPlanResearch-R1: Encouraging Tool Exploration for Deep Research with Synthetic Plans

Research Agents enable models to gather information from the web using tools to answer user queries, requiring them to dynamically interleave internal reasoning with tool use. While such capabilities can in principle be learned via reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), we observe that agents often exhibit poor exploration behaviors, including premature termination and biased tool usage. As a result, RLVR alone yields limited improvements. We propose SynPlanResearch-R1, a framework that synthesizes tool-use trajectories that encourage deeper exploration to shape exploration during cold-start supervised fine-tuning, providing a strong initialization for subsequent RL. Across seven multi-hop and open-web benchmarks, \framework improves performance by up to 6.0% on Qwen3-8B and 5.8% on Qwen3-4B backbones respectively compared to SOTA baselines. Further analyses of tool-use patterns and training dynamics compared to baselines shed light on the factors underlying these gains. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/HansiZeng/syn-plan-research.

KARL: Knowledge Agents via Reinforcement Learning

We present a system for training enterprise search agents via reinforcement learning that achieves state-of-the-art performance across a diverse suite of hard-to-verify agentic search tasks. Our work makes four core contributions. First, we introduce KARLBench, a multi-capability evaluation suite spanning six distinct search regimes, including constraint-driven entity search, cross-document report synthesis, tabular numerical reasoning, exhaustive entity retrieval, procedural reasoning over technical documentation, and fact aggregation over internal enterprise notes. Second, we show that models trained across heterogeneous search behaviors generalize substantially better than those optimized for any single benchmark. Third, we develop an agentic synthesis pipeline that employs long-horizon reasoning and tool use to generate diverse, grounded, and high-quality training data, with iterative bootstrapping from increasingly capable models. Fourth, we propose a new post-training paradigm based on iterative large-batch off-policy RL that is sample efficient, robust to train-inference engine discrepancies, and naturally extends to multi-task training with out-of-distribution generalization. Compared to Claude 4.6 and GPT 5.2, KARL is Pareto-optimal on KARLBench across cost-quality and latency-quality trade-offs, including tasks that were out-of-distribution during training. With sufficient test-time compute, it surpasses the strongest closed models. These results show that tailored synthetic data in combination with multi-task reinforcement learning enables cost-efficient and high-performing knowledge agents for grounded reasoning.

LOGIGEN: Logic-Driven Generation of Verifiable Agentic Tasks

The evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) from static instruction-followers to autonomous agents necessitates operating within complex, stateful environments to achieve precise state-transition objectives. However, this paradigm is bottlenecked by data scarcity, as existing tool-centric reverse-synthesis pipelines fail to capture the rigorous logic of real-world applications. We introduce LOGIGEN, a logic-driven framework that synthesizes verifiable training data based on three core pillars: Hard-Compiled Policy Grounding, Logic-Driven Forward Synthesis, and Deterministic State Verification. Specifically, a Triple-Agent Orchestration is employed: the Architect compiles natural-language policy into database constraints to enforce hard rules; the Set Designer initializes boundary-adjacent states to trigger critical policy conflicts; and the Explorer searches this environment to discover causal solution paths. This framework yields a dataset of 20,000 complex tasks across 8 domains, where validity is strictly guaranteed by checking exact state equivalence. Furthermore, we propose a verification-based training protocol where Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on verifiable trajectories establishes compliance with hard-compiled policy, while Reinforcement Learning (RL) guided by dense state-rewards refines long-horizon goal achievement. On τ2τ^2-Bench, LOGIGEN-32B(RL) achieves a 79.5% success rate, substantially outperforming the base model (40.7%). These results demonstrate that logic-driven synthesis combined with verification-based training effectively constructs the causally valid trajectories needed for next-generation agents.
