alt Hacker NewsRemember that function calling doesn’t mean that the model is actually calling a function for you: what it does it interpret the intent, then return back to the application the function and arguments, then the application runs the function with those arguments.
Think voice control for your device. You speak, and it returns back instructions ( a function and arguments) for your device to be execute.
STT models just turn audio into text, though; they don't interpret what the text means or figure out how to translate it into other representations like function calls. You would use a general-purpose model for that.
