Research Paper Overview
Towards General Agentic Intelligence via Environment Scaling
Summary
This paper presents a scalable framework to automatically construct diverse, fully simulated environments to broaden function-calling scenarios for agents. It introduces a two-phase fine-tuning strategy to first build fundamental agentic capabilities and then specialize agents for domain-specific tasks. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that the resulting model, AgentScaler, significantly improves function-calling performance.
