Title: GOAT: A Training Framework for Goal-Oriented Agent with Tools

Abstract:
arXiv:2510.12218v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current approaches rely on zero-shot evaluation due to the absence of training data; while proprietary models such as GPT-4 exhibit strong reasoning capabilities, smaller open-source models remain ineffective at complex tool use. To address this limitation, we propose a novel training framework GOAT, that enables fine-tuning LLM agents without human annotation. GOAT automatically synthesizes goal-oriented API execution data from API documents u
