ToolLLM: Facilitating Large Language Models to Master 16000+ Real-world APIs — interactive visual explainer | Rudrite Research

Researchers at ICLR 2024 introduced ToolLLM, a framework enabling large language models to use over 16,000 real-world APIs. The system includes ToolBench, a dataset built from RapidAPI without human labels, a depth-first search decision tree (DFSDT) for backtracking, an API retriever, and ToolEval for evaluation. This work advances LLMs' ability to interact with external tools and APIs autonomously.
