Abstract
The methods, systems, and computer networking apparatuses described herein enable language models to receive input (e.g., a query or a request) from a user or application, and without any additional training data or instructions, determine to generate a function call based on the received input from the user and generate the function call based on the determination. In some embodiments, a language model may further access an external tool or application to request an output as a response to the generated function call. The disclosed methods, systems, and networking apparatuses improve the technical field by incorporating language model capabilities within the function calling process, and allowing for function-related information to be provided to a language model via input received in any number of formats or types, including structured or unstructured input, language or non-language input, or any combination thereof.
