WEFT: Scaling Tool-Use Post-Training for General-Purpose Agents
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.36887v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent efforts to scale tool-use post-training have largely centered on the synthesis of executable environments, which constitute only one component of a broader agentic interaction system comprising the environment, task, agent harness, and evaluator. Scaling environments in isolation, however, does not guarantee commensurate gains in model performance, because reliable learning signals depend on coherent interactions among all components of the agentic interaction system. To address this problem, we introduce WEFT (Whole-system Evolution For T

Why it matters
This development shows AI moving deeper into everyday software. Productivity potential should be weighed against price, data permissions, exportability and the preservation of human control.
