ReAct vs Toolformer vs ToolRL — what's the difference? | Rudrite Research

Rudrite Research published a comparison of three approaches for teaching language models to use tools: ReAct, Toolformer, and ToolRL. The analysis contrasts prompting loops, data filtering based on model loss, and policy reward methods. The piece provides side-by-side examples to illustrate the differences.
