Full fine-tuning is expensive and fixes the tool set in advance. In-context prompting hits context-window limits, so it can show only a few tools and examples. ToolkenGPT keeps the LLM frozen and gives each tool its… 2. **[Code to Think, Think to Code: A Survey on Code-Enhanced Reasoning and Reasoning-Driven Code Intelligence in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2025-code-think-think-code-survey/)** *(2025 · 19 citations)* This EMNLP 2025 survey, by authors from Meta AI, UC San Diego and the University of Rochester, examines the two-way relationship between programming ability and reasoning in large language models. It introduces no new dataset or model. Instead, it organizes existing work into a taxonomy with two branches. 3. **[Decentralized Arena: Towards Democratic and Scalable Automatic Evaluation of Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yin-2026-decentralized-arena-democratic-scalable-automatic/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Ranking the fast-growing population of LLMs is hard. Fixed-answer benchmarks such as MMLU saturate. Human-voted leaderboards like Chatbot Arena are slow and expensive. Using one strong model (e.g., GPT-4) as judge introduces that model's own biases. The authors propose Decentralized Arena (De-Arena), where every… ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Shibo Hao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shibo-hao/) ×2 - [Zhen Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhen-wang/) ×2 - [Eric P.
