Breaking Boundaries: Exploring Function Calling for LLMs
How function calling paves the way for seamless integration of Large Language Models with external tools and APIs
The moment I discovered that Large Language Models (LLMs) had gained the ability to interact with external tools and APIs, I knew nothing would ever be the same.
Does this move us closer to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? Maybe not, but it undeniably ushers in a whole new era for AI: one where LLMs can execute anything that you can put in a function. Now, this may seem heretical, but for me, this brings us closer to my vision of AGI , since I’m not one to fantasize about sentient machines or other sci-fi narratives.
Just picture this: an AI agent that takes full ownership of a task, communicates with other agents operating online, fetches data, and returns with exactly what you wished for. This transformative capability not only redefines our interaction with the internet, but it reshapes our thought processes as well.
Fast forward a few years: imagine wanting to plan a vacation. The first step won’t be to search for tickets online, but rather, to instruct an AI agent to plan and organize everything, from start to finish. You’ll only know it’s done when a couple of…
