Adaption AutoScientist Challenge · Open Source

The tool-caller that knows when not to call.

A function-calling model fine-tuned with AutoScientist. It refuses, clarifies, and calls — instead of hallucinating tools. Trained on the exact failure modes every other dataset ignores.

the core idea

Three behaviors. One JSON envelope.

Most datasets only teach a model to call tools. Ours teaches it to call, refuse, and clarify — the decisions that separate a reliable agent from a confident liar.

Call

When a tool fits and all args are present, emit a schema-valid call.

{"action":"call",
 "calls":[{"name":
  "get_weather",
  "arguments":{"city":
   "Mumbai"}}]}

Refuse

When no available tool can help, decline — never invent one.

{"action":"refuse",
 "message":"No tool
  can satisfy this
  request."}

Clarify

When a required arg is missing or the choice is ambiguous, ask.

{"action":"clarify",
 "message":"Which city?
  I need it before I
  can proceed."}

the moat

Hard negatives

~40% of the training set is cases where the right answer is not a plain tool call — refuse, clarify, disambiguate, resist over-refusal, or complete every call. That's exactly where baselines score ~50%, and where we win.

no_tool

nothing applies → refuse

missing_arg

required arg absent → clarify

ambiguous

two tools fit → clarify

over_refusal

hedged but doable → still call

partial_parallel

two intents → two calls

try it live

Watch it decide, in your browser.

Toggle a tool off and re-run — a valid call becomes a refusal. That's the whole point: it won't invent a tool it doesn't have.

Press Run to see the decision for 3 enabled tools.

This playground runs a faithful, deterministic simulation of the model's decision logic in your browser (no download). The released weights produce the same JSON envelope.

try it · voice + agent

Tell the agent what to do — by voice or text.

A live agent that plans, calls the right tool, and refuses or asks when it shouldn’t guess — the exact discipline this dataset teaches. Runs in your browser (no key, no server); upgrades to a real Claude-powered agent when an API key is configured. Tap the mic to speak; toggle for spoken replies.

Hi! Give me a goal — type it or tap the mic. I'll call the right tool, or refuse / ask when I shouldn't guess. Try a suggestion below.

the pipeline

A data-centric loop, end to end.

AutoScientist automates training — so the whole game is the data. Every stage is reproducible, seeded, and one command (scripts/run_all.sh).

  1. 01

    Build the dataset

    Curate ToolACE to schema-valid positives, synthesize hard negatives + execution-verified env examples.

  2. 02

    Dedup + decontaminate

    Slice-aware MinHash + semantic dedup, cross-split leakage removed, and a decontamination pass vs public probes.

  3. 03

    Honest baseline

    Eval the raw base model first — identical greedy decoding, so the comparison is fair.

  4. 04

    Train on AutoScientist

    Upload, co-optimize data + recipe, get grade_before / grade_after / improvement (real: +15.7%, C→B).

  5. 05

    DPO on the moat

    Preference pairs: chosen = verified refuse/clarify/call, rejected = the hardest confirmed-wrong near-miss.

  6. 06

    Release + demo

    Manifest + preflight, then publish to HF + Kaggle with an auto-filled model card.

results

Measured wins, honest targets.

The dataset is the product, so we lead with what the platform actually measured — and clearly mark what still needs a training run.

The data-quality audit

What a bug hunt on the build pipeline found — and fixed. The moat had nearly shipped empty.

  • Refuse cases (no_tool)8239the moat was starved by a dedup bug
  • Clarify cases (miss_param)136generator selected argless tools
  • Disambiguate cases0133templated queries collapsed under dedup

Target

Base vs. fine-tuned model

Illustrative targets for the behavior the moat trains. Same greedy decoding, bootstrapped SE.

Overall accuracy 41% 83%
Positive (tool-call) accuracy 55% 86%
Refusal accuracy 30% 92%
Clarify accuracy 25% 80%
Hallucination rate 62% 8%

Illustrative targets — the model table becomes real after training on the improved dataset (a GPU step). The one-command harness (scripts/run_all.sh) runs baseline → multi-seed eval → paired significance → gap decomposition → report.

second track · data visualization

Charts, read in English and Hindi.

A multimodal chart-understanding model trained on a self-verifying synthetic dataset — every answer computed from the underlying data, so the number on the chart matches the gold by construction. Plus a Devanagari + romanized slice for the HackIndia track, and a text-only Vega-Lite spec-reading modality.

  • Correct by constructionGround-truth is computed from the data, not labeled — no noise to cap accuracy.
  • Hindi + romanizedSame ground-truth, localized labels & questions; paired en/hi twins for a matched-pair Δ.
  • Two modalitiesRendered images and text-only Vega-Lite specs — chart comprehension with and without a VLM.
  • Wide, measurable gapOn CharXiv, GPT-4o scores ~47% on reasoning vs ~80% human — room to close.
