# 🦀 Toucan-1.5M: 

Toucan-1.5M is the largest fully synthetic tool-agent dataset to date, designed to advance tool use in agentic LLMs. It comprises over 1.5 million trajectories synthesized from 495 real-world Model Context Protocols (MCPs) spanning 2,000+ tools. By leveraging authentic MCP environments, Toucan-1.5M generates diverse, realistic, and challenging tasks requires using multiple tools, with trajectories involving real tool executions across multi-round, multi-turn, sequential, and parallel tool calls. Models fine-tuned on Toucan-1.5M outperform much larger closed-source counterparts on the BFCL V3 benchmark and extend the Pareto frontier on the MCP-Universe benchmark.

## About This Model

This model is a fine-tuned variant of **Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct**, trained on a curated subset of the [Toucan-1.5M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Agent-Ark/Toucan-1.5M) dataset. The supervised fine-tuning (SFT) subset consists of **119.3K instances** in total, including:

- **28.3K** from the original pipeline  
- **40K** from Extension 1 (*Irrelevance*)  
- **15.8K** from Extension 2 (*Diversify*)  
- **35.2K** from Extension 3 (*Multi-Turn*)  

We adopt the `Hermes` prompt template for fine-tuning. For a detailed description of the training setup and hyperparameters, please refer to our [technical report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.01179).

## Model Performance

Toucan-1.5M remarkably improves baseline model performance through SFT and enables smaller models to outperform larger models across different evaluation aspects, as evidenced in BFCL-V3 and MCP Universe benchmarks.
