Functionary is a chat language model and serving code that interprets and executes functions/plugins, deciding when to call tools in parallel or serially based on JSON Schema definitions. This repository is deprecated and kept only as a reference snapshot of an older version of the project.

Use cases

• run an llm that calls functions from json schema definitions
• build an ai agent that uses tools and interprets results
• self-host a function-calling chat model
• serve an openai-compatible tool-calling model
• evaluate function calling models on a local gpu

When to choose

• you need a reference implementation of function-calling model serving
• you want to study how tool-calling prompt templates work

When to avoid

• you want an actively maintained project - this repo is deprecated
• you need the latest functionary models or support
• you expect bug fixes or reviewed pull requests
