Logical reasoning is a core capability for large language models (LLMs), yet existing benchmarks that rely solely on final-answer accuracy fail to capture the quality of the reasoning process. To address this, we introduce FineLogic, a fine-grained evaluation framework that assesses logical reasoning across three dimensions: overall accuracy, stepwise soundness, and representation-level probing. Leveraging this framework, we conduct a comprehensive study on how different supervision formats in fine-tuning shape reasoning abilities. We fine-tune LLMs on four supervision styles—one in natural language and three symbolic variants—and find a key trade-off: natural language supervision excels at generalization to out-of-distribution and long-chain problems, whereas symbolic supervision is superior at instilling structurally sound, atomic reasoning steps. Furthermore, our probing analysis indicates that fine-tuning primarily refines the model’s step-by-step generation process, rather than improving its ability to converge on an answer early. Together, our framework and analysis provide a more rigorous lens for evaluating and improving logical reasoning in LLMs. The code is available at https://github.com/YujunZhou/FineLogic.

Ensuring the trustworthiness of Generative Foundation Models (GenFMs) is a pressing challenge as they gain widespread use. Existing evaluation toolkits are often limited in scope, dynamism, and flexibility. This paper introduces TRUSTEVAL, a dynamic and comprehensive toolkit designed for evaluating GenFMs across various dimensions. TRUSTEVAL supports both dynamic dataset generation and evaluation, offering advanced features including comprehensiveness, usability, and flexibility. TRUSTEVAL integrates diverse generative models, datasets, evaluation methods, metrics, inference efficiency enhancement, and evaluation report generation. Through case studies, we demonstrate TRUSTEVAL’s potential to advance the trustworthiness evaluation of GenFMs.
