OpenAI Updated Their Function Calling
This is a good example of introducing different levels of Agency to a Generative AI Applications.
As I’ve emphasised repeatedly over the past few weeks, we need to shift our focus from specific technologies to practical use cases and to consider agency as being on a spectrum with different levels of agency.
Function calling has been around for a while, but it is a good example of giving agency to a Language Model…
OpenAI has introduced updates to its function calling capabilities.
Based on the system prompt and the conversation context, the model can decide if a function needs to be invoked, either as a complement to or instead of generating text or audio.
Once the function is executed, the developer returns the results, which the model will seamlessly integrate into its final response with the supplied context.
