I find this far more useful than a suite of tools or "AI agents" which always work well in a controlled development environment but not so much further than that.
Function calling is a great step towards actually production-izing LLMs and making them extremely robust - I remember when GPT-3 API first came out and I was furiously making sequential calls with complex if/else and try/catch statements and using a couple of Python libraries for the simple reason...I need the output to be a valid JSON. It was surprisingly hard until function calling solved this.
- padolsey 3y agoYeh agreed. Function calling FTW— just need a bit more reliability/(semi-?)-idempotence.
- sdeep27 3y agoAgree. Can really build a strong chain of functionality with this function calling. I have a harder time seeing the use of something like Langchain - seems unnecessary to learn a new bloated API when I can use the powerful tools from the models themselves, and then chain things together myself.
