Although large language models have enhanced automated travel planning abilities, current systems remain misaligned with real-world scenarios. First, they assume users provide explicit queries, while in reality requirements are often implicit. Second, existing solutions ignore diverse environmental factors and user preferences, limiting the feasibility of plans. Third, systems can only generate plans with basic POI arrangements, failing to provide all-in-one plans with rich details. To mitigate these challenges, we construct a novel dataset RETAIL, which supports decision-making for implicit queries while covering explicit queries, both with and without revision needs. It also enables environmental awareness to ensure plan feasibility under real-world scenarios, while incorporating detailed POI information for all-in-one travel plans. Furthermore, we propose a topic-guided multi-agent framework, termed TGMA. Our experiments reveal that even the strongest existing model achieves merely a 1.0% pass rate, indicating real-world travel planning remains extremely challenging. In contrast, TGMA demonstrates substantially improved performance 2.72%, offering promising directions for real-world travel planning.

While integrating external tools into large language models (LLMs) enhances their ability to access real-time information and domain-specific services, existing approaches focus narrowly on functional tool selection following user instructions while overlooking the critical role of context-aware personalization in tool selection. This oversight leads to suboptimal user satisfaction and inefficient tool utilization, particularly when overlapping toolsets require nuanced selection based on contextual factors. To bridge this gap, we introduce ToolSpectrum, a benchmark designed to evaluate LLMs’ capabilities in personalized tool utilization. Specifically, we formalize two key dimensions of personalization, user profile and environmental factors, and analyze their individual and synergistic impacts on tool selection. Through extensive experiments on ToolSpectrum, we demonstrate that personalized tool selection significantly improves user experience across diverse scenarios. However, even state-of-the-art LLMs exhibit the limited ability to reason jointly about user profiles and environmental factors, often prioritizing one dimension at the expense of the other. Our findings underscore the necessity of context-aware personalization in tool-augmented LLMs and reveal critical limitations for current models. Our data and code will be released soon.

Recent advances in large language model (LLM) fine‐tuning have shown that training data augmented with high-quality reasoning traces can remarkably improve downstream performance. However, existing approaches usually rely on expensive manual annotations or auxiliary models, and fail to address the unique constraints of smaller “weak” LLMs. To bridge these gaps, we introduce Weak2Wise, a fully automated, lightweight framework for synthesizing high‐quality, weak-LLM-friendly reasoning traces. Starting from a QA dataset, Weak2Wise filters out the samples that can already be correctly answered by the weak LLM, gathers diverse candidate reasoning traces from multiple strong LLMs, and leverages our Step‐Mask scoring to rank and truncate the most guidance‐effective traces. These reasoning traces are then used for fine‐tuning, yielding substantial improvements in the weak LLM’s reasoning abilities. The name Weak2Wise has two meanings: using a “weak” LLM to select the “wisest” reasoning traces generated by stronger LLMs, and fine‐tuning the same weak LLM on these reasoning traces to become “wiser”. We further use Weak2Wise to build GR-1K, a 1,000‐sample math and science QA‐reasoning dataset optimized for weak LLMs, and fine‐tune Qwen2.5‐7B on it to create GR‐7B, which achieves superior performance on AIME2024, MATH‐500, and GPQA Diamond benchmarks. Our codes are publicly released to facilitate further research.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited significant proficiency in code debugging, especially in automatic program repair, which may substantially reduce the time consumption of developers and enhance their efficiency. Significant advancements in debugging datasets have been made to promote the development of code debugging. However, these datasets primarily focus on assessing the LLM’s function-level code repair capabilities, neglecting the more complex and realistic repository-level scenarios, which leads to an incomplete understanding of the LLM’s challenges in repository-level debugging. While several repository-level datasets have been proposed, they often suffer from limitations such as limited diversity of tasks, languages, and error types. To mitigate this challenge, this paper introduces RepoDebug, a multi-task and multi-language repository-level code debugging dataset with 22 subtypes of errors that supports 8 commonly used programming languages and 3 debugging tasks. Furthermore, we conduct evaluation experiments on 10 LLMs, where Claude 3.5 Sonnect, the best-performing model, still cannot perform well in repository-level debugging.
