Fwiw, this sounds like a healthy discourse - you don’t have to agree on everything, every approach has its merits, code that ends up shipping and supporting production wins the argument in some sense… This is not special to Meta in any way,

very cool idea. But, time savings are not true for every tool call, and it's not clear to me yet whether this is batch-able; also, intuitively, for most of the models that run on GPU, you'd still want to offload tool exec part to

their Play store review practices are such a joke. Apps review is a completely obscure process, no clear way to see that the app is in review state, if they reject - amount of information why it was rejected is minimal and you have to secon
