PathOr's Function Calling Llama 2 CHAT(version 2)
- Function calling Llama extends the hugging face Llama 2 models with function calling capabilities.
- The model responds with a structured json argument with the function name and arguments.
Improvements with v2
- Shortened syntax: Only function descriptions are needed for inference and no added instruction is required.
- Function descriptions are moved outside of the system prompt. This avoids the behaviour of function calling being affected by how the system prompt had been trained to influence the model.
Performance and Tips
- Larger models are better at handling function calling. The cross entropy training losses are approximately 0.5 for 7B, 0.4 for 13B, 0.3 for 70B. The absolute numbers don't mean anything but the relative values offer a sense of relative performance.
- Provide very clear function descriptions, including whether the arguments are required or what the default values should be.
- Make sure to post-process the language model's response to check that all necessary information is provided by the user. If not, prompt the user to let them know they need to provide more info (e.g. their name, order number etc.)
Licensing
Use of all Llama models with function calling is further subject to terms in the Meta license.
Inference
Note that you'll still need to code the server-side handling of making the function calls (which obviously depends on what functions you want to use).
Syntax
Prompt Templates
The function descriptions must be wrapped within a function block. You can put this function below before or after the system message block.
Example without a system message:
# Define the roles and markers
B_INST, E_INST = "[INST]", "[/INST]"
B_FUNC, E_FUNC = "<FUNCTIONS>", "</FUNCTIONS>\n\n"
functionList = {function_1_metadata}{function_2_metadata}...
user_prompt = '...'
# Format your prompt template
prompt = f"{B_FUNC}{functionList.strip()}{E_FUNC}{B_INST} {user_prompt.strip()} {E_INST}\n\n"
Example with a system message:
# Define the roles and markers
B_INST, E_INST = "[INST]", "[/INST]"
B_FUNC, E_FUNC = "<FUNCTIONS>", "</FUNCTIONS>\n\n"
B_SYS, E_SYS = "<<SYS>>\n", "\n<</SYS>>\n\n"
# assuming functionList is defined as above
system_prompt = '...'
user_prompt = '...'
# Format your prompt template
prompt = f"{B_FUNC}{functionList.strip()}{E_FUNC}{B_INST} {B_SYS}{system_prompt.strip()}{E_SYS}{user_prompt.strip()} {E_INST}\n\n"
Notice that the function block is placed at the very start of the sequence, before 'B_INST'.
Function Metadata Template
functionMetadata should be a string representation of a JSON object, like this:
"functionMetadata": {
"function": "search_bing",
"description": "Search the web for content on Bing. This allows users to search online/the internet/the web for content.",
"arguments": [
{
"name": "query",
"type": "string",
"description": "The search query string"
}
]
}
'''
and the language model should respond with a json object formatted like this:
{
"function": "function_name",
"arguments": {
"argument1": "argument_value",
"argument2": "argument_value"
}
}
It is recommended to handle cases where:
- There is no json object in the response
- The response contains text in addition to the json response
Sample functionList
{
"function": "search_bing",
"description": "Search the web for content on Bing. This allows users to search online/the internet/the web for content.",
"arguments": [
{
"name": "query",
"type": "string",
"description": "The search query string"
}
]
}
{
"function": "search_arxiv",
"description": "Search for research papers on ArXiv. Make use of AND, OR and NOT operators as appropriate to join terms within the query.",
"arguments": [
{
"name": "query",
"type": "string",
"description": "The search query string"
}
]
}

Below follows information on the original CodeLlama model...

Code Llama
Code Llama is a collection of pretrained and fine-tuned generative text models ranging in scale from 7 billion to 34 billion parameters. This is the repository for the 34B instruct-tuned version in the Hugging Face Transformers format. This model is designed for general code synthesis and understanding. Links to other models can be found in the index at the bottom.
Model Use
To use this model, please make sure to install transformers from main until the next version is released:
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git@main accelerate
Model capabilities:
- Code completion.
- Infilling.
- Instructions / chat.
- Python specialist.
Model Details
*Note: Use of this model is governed by the Meta license. Meta developed and publicly released the Code Llama family of large language models (LLMs).
Model Developers Meta
Variations Code Llama comes in three model sizes, and three variants:
- Code Llama: base models designed for general code synthesis and understanding
- Code Llama - Python: designed specifically for Python
- Code Llama - Instruct: for instruction following and safer deployment
All variants are available in sizes of 7B, 13B and 34B parameters.
This repository contains the Instruct version of the 34B parameters model.
Input Models input text only.
Output Models generate text only.
Model Architecture Code Llama is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture.
Model Dates Code Llama and its variants have been trained between January 2023 and July 2023.
Status This is a static model trained on an offline dataset. Future versions of Code Llama - Instruct will be released as we improve model safety with community feedback.
License A custom commercial license is available at: https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/
Research Paper More information can be found in the paper "Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code".
Intended Use
Intended Use Cases Code Llama and its variants is intended for commercial and research use in English and relevant programming languages. The base model Code Llama can be adapted for a variety of code synthesis and understanding tasks, Code Llama - Python is designed specifically to handle the Python programming language, and Code Llama - Instruct is intended to be safer to use for code assistant and generation applications.
Out-of-Scope Uses Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws). Use in languages other than English. Use in any other way that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy and Licensing Agreement for Code Llama and its variants.
Hardware and Software
Training Factors We used custom training libraries. The training and fine-tuning of the released models have been performed Meta’s Research Super Cluster.
Carbon Footprint In aggregate, training all 9 Code Llama models required 400K GPU hours of computation on hardware of type A100-80GB (TDP of 350-400W). Estimated total emissions were 65.3 tCO2eq, 100% of which were offset by Meta’s sustainability program.
Training Data
All experiments reported here and the released models have been trained and fine-tuned using the same data as Llama 2 with different weights (see Section 2 and Table 1 in the research paper for details).
Evaluation Results
See evaluations for the main models and detailed ablations in Section 3 and safety evaluations in Section 4 of the research paper.
Ethical Considerations and Limitations
Code Llama and its variants are a new technology that carries risks with use. Testing conducted to date has been in English, and has not covered, nor could it cover all scenarios. For these reasons, as with all LLMs, Code Llama’s potential outputs cannot be predicted in advance, and the model may in some instances produce inaccurate or objectionable responses to user prompts. Therefore, before deploying any applications of Code Llama, developers should perform safety testing and tuning tailored to their specific applications of the model.
