Functionary executes functions and plugins within conversations. It determines when to trigger functions, understands outputs, and grounds responses in tool results.
Functionary is an LLM explicitly designed for interpreting and executing functions/plugins within conversations.
✅ Determines when to trigger functions based on conversation flow ✅ Understands function outputs and handles them appropriately ✅ Generates responses grounded in real function execution results
What sets Functionary apart:
🚀 Laser focused on function calling instead of general capabilities ⚡️ Fast and cost-effective compared to large general models like GPT-4 🎯 Accuracy approaching GPT-4 for function calling tasks 👍 Drop-in compatibility with OpenAI's platform
Use cases: 🗺️ Travel planning - Call trip planning functions 🏠 Real estate - Property valuation functions 📶 Telecom - Parse customer complaints
👉 Enables interactions with real-world data (⚡️fast and cost effective⚡️)
Functionary allows models to execute functions that can interact with real-time data, external APIs, etc. The open-source LLM provides up-to-date information vs just the model's fixed training data. And it does so faster and cheaper than huge general models.
🧮 Handles function execution details
Functionary determines when functions are needed, executes them, understands their outputs, and handles all the details automatically. Engineers don't have to coordinate function calling manually.
🔌 Drop-in replacement for OpenAI
Functionary is API-compatible with OpenAI. Engineers can swap it in and instantly upgrade the performance of apps that leverage function calling.
🎯 Specialized for Accuracy
Unlike large general models, Functionary is explicitly focused on accurate function execution. Its Accuracy for this particular task is rapidly approaching GPT-4.
👥 Supports parallel execution
Functionary can execute multiple functions in parallel within a conversation, allowing apps to leverage multiple real-time info sources.
