#toolcalling
One of the things that's implicitly understood by tech people is that the chatbot-toolcalling loop Agent model combined with a structure for setting and evaluating goals, is more or less essentially the same thing as dumb genetic algorithms used to do AI speedruns of games 20 years ago.

This won't be true forever, many AI systems are going to get direct-sensing embodiments, and agents/toolcalling are already providing external input signals. That said, there will always be noosphere-first entities that need to be understood this way and benefit from this kind of interaction

has anyone done a model that’s good at toolcalling but optimized for narrative as opposed to “be good at writing code”. iirc theres the M2.5-Her rp fork but that’s it

Every AI agent runs on one simple pattern: Tool Calling.

The model never runs your code. It just asks for what it needs, and your app does the rest.

We break it down in 5 steps with a live GitHub demo.

You can now build on top of the same voice system that we shipped to 1B users in ChatGPT.

So many fun applications of a full duplex system with solid toolcalling. Going back to text-only experiences after this feels harder than I had expected.

CoT for strawberry on small (4b) qwen3 with toolcalling made me laugh. at least it defers to the tool output despite repeatedly stepping on a rake.

Also, back then? Still is. They just figured out how to bake instruction formatting into it and strapped toolcalling onto the hallucination sushi.

Most of my blog posts get a few thousand views at best.

But a recent post I wrote about LLMs, Toolcalling, and MCP crossed 18,000+ views in just a couple of days after landing on the Hacker News homepage hackteam.io/blog/your-ll...
Hackteam - An LLM does not need to understand MCP
Model Context Protocol (MCP) has became the standard for tool calling when building agents, but contrary to popular belief your LLM does not need to understand MCP.
