Stanford and Google DeepMind present TURTLE, which evolves harder tool-use benchmark tasks
Overview
Stanford and Google DeepMind researchers present TURTLE, a method that uses AlphaEvolve to mutate existing tool-use tasks toward about 50% solver success.
In AppWorld tests with Gemma 4 31B-it, 69% of original tasks were always solved, according to the researchers as reported by Rohan Paul on X. An LLM judge rated 52.5% of the evolved tasks as hard, compared with 19.8% of the originals.
