🤖💻 Function Calling is a key component of Agent workflows. To call functions, an LLM needs a way to interact with other systems and run code. This usually means connecting it to a runtime environment that can handle function calls, data, and security.

Per the Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard there are only 2 fully open source models (The other 2 in the top 20 that are not closed source have cc-by-nc-4.0 licenses) out of the top 20 models that currently have function calling built in as of 17 Nov 2024.

The 2 Open Source Models out of the top 20 that currently support function calling are:

meetkai/functionary-medium-v3.1
Team-ACE/ToolACE-8B

This is a both a huge disadvantage AND an opportunity for the Open Source community as Enterprises, Small Business, Government Agencies etc. quickly adopt Agents and Agent workflows over the next few months. Open Source will have a lot of catching up to do as Enterprises will be hesitant to switch from the closed source models that they may initially build their Agent workflows on in the next few months to an open source alternative later.

Hopefully more open source models will support function calling in the near future.
