1. **[xLAM: A Family of Large Action Models to Empower AI Agent Systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-xlam-family-large-action-models/)** *(2025 · 68 citations)* Open-source LLMs lag behind proprietary systems on agent tasks such as tool use. A major cause is that public agent datasets are scarce, inconsistent in format, homogeneous in content, and often noisy, with problems like hallucinated actions or repeated turns. The authors (Salesforce AI) release xLAM, a family of…
