Multi-Tool Reasoning and Process-Supervision Benchmarking of Language Models

A benchmark methodology for evaluating language models on complex tasks that require chaining multiple external tool calls, scoring not only the final answer but each intermediate reasoning step through human-verified process-supervision labels. It supports comparing outcome-supervised reward models, which judge only the final result, against process-supervised reward models, which judge each step, and demonstrates that step-level supervision generalizes better when ranking tool-use trajectories.
