Chinese Tool-Use Benchmark

Qwen-14B 98% leads since Sep 2023 Dropped

Models pick and call plugins in ReAct format for Chinese prompts. Scores are tool selection accuracy, Rouge-L on tool inputs, and false positive rate.

Qwen replaced version 20230803 with version 20231206, so scores from the two versions differ.

2 models share the top score of 98% among models released by Feb 2024

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

The newest model with a score here came out in Feb 2024, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 Qwen-14B 98%
  2. 2 Qwen-7B 98%
  3. 3 Qwen1.5-72B 95.1%
  4. 4 Qwen-1_8B 92%
