Title: Meta-Tool: Efficient Few-Shot Tool Adaptation for Small Language Models
Abstract:
arXiv:2604.20148v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Can small language models achieve strong tool-use performance without complex adaptation mechanisms? This paper investigates this question through Meta-Tool, a controlled empirical study comparing hypernetwork-based LoRA adaptation against carefully designed few-shot prompting. Using a Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct backbone, we evaluate four adaptation mechanisms--few-shot prompting, documentation encoding, hypernetwork-generated LoRA weights, and value-
