Fireworks Function Calling (FireFunction) Model V1

FireFunction is a state-of-the-art function calling model with a commercially viable license.

💡 The model is also hosted on the Fireworks platform. It's free during a limited beta period and hosted to be about 4x the speed of GPT-4, generating ~110 tokens/sec! The model is also API compatible with OpenAI function calling.

Resources

Intended Use and Limitations

Key Highlights

⭐️ Near GPT-4 level quality for real-world use cases of structured information generation and routing decision-making

💨 Blazing fast speed. Inference speeds are roughly 4x that of GPT-4 when using FireFunction hosted on the Fireworks platform

🔄 Support for "any" paramter in tool_choice. Firefunction is the only model that we're aware that supports an option for the model to always choose a function - particularly helpful for routing use cases

Primary Use

Although the model was trained on a variety of tasks, it performs best on:

single-turn request routing to a function picked from a pool of up to 20 function specs.
structured information extraction. See blog post for more info on FireFunction.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not optimized for the following use cases:

general multi-turn chat,
parallel and nested function calls in a single response. These can be broken into multiple messages.

Example Usage

See documentation for more detail.
