SinoGlyphBench: A Diagnostic Benchmark for Chinese Glyph-Level Obfuscation in Language-Model Moderation

Glyph-level obfuscation can leave harmful Chinese content readable to humans while degrading automated moderation. We introduce SinoGlyphBench, a diagnostic benchmark that identifies label-critical semantic anchors and creates matched original and glyph-obfuscated inputs in text and image modalities. By perturbing anchors, background context, or both, this design distinguishes corruption of moderation-relevant evidence from general surface variation. Across 176,916 paired evaluations of 12 LLMs and MLLMs, obfuscation increases harmful false-negative and false-positive rates by 6.1 and 4.7 percentage points, respectively, and reduces four-way accuracy by 5.0 points. Models retain 75.7% of the decisions that were correct on the matched original inputs. Full-scope perturbations cause the largest degradation, anchor-only perturbations are more damaging than background-only perturbations, and cross-script substitution is particularly difficult in the text modality. Analysis of structured outputs identifies observable mismatches in visible-form reading, intended-message recovery, and final safety judgment. The evaluated models, therefore, remain brittle to Chinese content written with non-canonical glyphs. Resources are available at https://github.com/fengshun124/SinoGlyphBench.

UniToolCall: Unifying Tool-Use Representation, Data, and Evaluation for LLM Agents

Tool-use capability is a fundamental component of LLM agents, enabling them to interact with external systems through structured function calls. However, existing research exhibits inconsistent interaction representations, largely overlooks the structural distribution of tool-use trajectories, and relies on incompatible evaluation benchmarks. We present UniToolCall, a unified framework for tool learning that standardizes the entire pipeline from toolset construction and dataset generation to evaluation. The framework curates a large tool pool of 22k+ tools and constructs a hybrid training corpus of 390k+ instances by combining 10 standardized public datasets with structurally controlled synthetic trajectories. It explicitly models diverse interaction patterns, including single-hop vs. multi-hop and single-turn vs. multi-turn, while capturing both serial and parallel execution structures. To support coherent multi-turn reasoning, we further introduce an Anchor Linkage mechanism that enforces cross-turn dependencies. Furthermore, we convert 7 public benchmarks into a unified Query--Action--Observation--Answer (QAOA) representation with fine-grained evaluation at the function-call, turn, and conversation levels. Experiments show that fine-tuning Qwen3-8B on our dataset substantially improves tool-use performance. Under the distractor-heavy Hybrid-20 setting, achieves 93.0% single-turn Strict Precision, outperforming commercial models including GPT, Gemini, and Claude.
