The only mention of tools I could find is this:
> it significantly improves project planning, backend architecture, frontend design, and data engineering through sequenced, multi-step actions involving external tools or API.
I'm guessing this means it was trained with tool calling? And if so, does that mean it does tool calling within the thinking/reasoning, or within the main text? Seems unclear
- simonw 1y agoTool calling isn't enabled in the official Magistral Small GGUF (or the Ollama one) which is sad. Hope they (or someone else) fix that soon.
- NitpickLawyer 1y agoThey have already released Devstral, which is a tool-specific finetune of the same base model. That works pretty well with cline (even though it was specifically tuned for open-hands). This would likely be a good model for the "plan" mode in various agentic tools (cline, aider, cursor/windsurf/void, etc). So you'd have a chat in plan mode, then use devstral to actually implement that plan.
- diggan 1y agoDevstral is targeting tool use+coding I think, so something like Magistral but also tool calling (during thinking) would be handy too, just for other use cases. But also beneficial in the context of creating plans for Devstral.
- jmorgan 1y agoWorking on adding tool calling support to Magistral in Ollama. It requires a tokenizer change and also uses a new tool calling format. Excited to see the results of combining thinking + tool calling!
