ToolGate pipeline automates scientific benchmark creation with AI

Researchers have developed ToolGate, an executable pipeline designed to automate the construction and validation of scientific benchmarks, particularly those requiring specialized software. The system employs a three-gate process: first, ensuring a solution script runs correctly with the scientific software; second, screening out tasks solvable without the tool; and third, verifying that a tool-using agent can solve the remaining candidates. An instantiation of ToolGate using FEniCSx and GPT-5.5 demonstrated its effectiveness in generating a validated set of benchmark tasks. AI

IMPACT Automates the creation and validation of AI benchmarks, potentially accelerating research and development in tool-using AI agents.

    ToolGate: An Executable Acceptance Pipeline for Tool-Dependent Scientific Benchmark Construction

    arXiv:2609.02067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific benchmarks are commonly built by domain experts who write tasks and cross-check one another's work, or who adapt existing material from textbooks, published papers, and online resources. These routes can produce strong ev…
