LLMs achieve perfect scores with new tool integration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent experiment revealed that Large Language Models (LLMs) like DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017, Kimi K3.1 Pro, and DeepSeek V4 Pro perform significantly better when a tool is available for them to interact with. In a new setup, a `skill_feedback` tool allowed models to log actions, resulting in a 20/20 score for a specific sentence, compared to a previous score of 0/20 when no such tool existed. This improvement is attributed to the presence of the tool itself, enabling the models to execute and record actions, rather than solely relying on text-based scoring. AI

IMPACT The availability of tools significantly enhances LLM performance in executing and logging actions, suggesting a future where AI agents can more reliably interact with external systems.

    The footer scored zero. The real tool log gave it 20/20.

    <p>In our old scoring, the closing footer fired zero times out of twenty. We moved the same sentence into the numbered steps, the score moved, and we wrote a post about addresses: the footer is a comment, the step is a contract.</p> <p>Then we built a real tool with a ledger you …
