FireFunction is a state-of-the-art function calling model with a commercially viable license. View detailed info in our [announcement blog](https://fireworks.ai/blog/firefunction-v2-launch-post). Key info and highlights:

**Comparison with other models:**
- Competitive with GPT-4o at function-calling, scoring 0.81 vs 0.80 on a medley of public evaluations
- Trained on Llama 3 and retains Llama 3’s conversation and instruction-following capabilities, scoring 0.84 vs Llama 3’s 0.89 on MT bench
- Significant quality improvements over FireFunction v1 across the broad range of metrics


**General info:**

🐾 Successor of the [FireFunction](https://fireworks.ai/models/fireworks/firefunction-v1) model

🔆 Support of parallel function calling (unlike FireFunction v1) and good instruction following

💡 Hosted on the [Fireworks](https://fireworks.ai/models/fireworks/firefunction-v2) platform at < 10% of the cost of GPT 4o and 2x the speed




## Intended Use and Limitations

### Supported usecases
The model was tuned to perfom well on a range of usecases including:
 * general instruction following
 * multi-turn chat mixing vanilla messages with function calls
 * single- and parallel function calling
 * up to 20 function specs supported at once
 * structured information extraction
   
The model has an 8k context window, like Llama 3

### Out-of-Scope Use
The model was not optimized for the following use cases:
  * 100+ function specs
  * nested function calling

## Example Usage

See [documentation](https://readme.fireworks.ai/docs/function-calling) for more detail.

```python

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("fireworks-ai/firefunction-v2", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("fireworks-ai/firefunction-v2")

function_spec = [
    {
        "name": "get_stock_price",
        "description": "Get the current stock price",
        "parameters": {

                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "The stock symbol, e.g. AAPL, GOOG"
                }
            },
            "required": [
                "symbol"

        }
    },
    {
        "name": "check_word_anagram",
        "description": "Check if two words are anagrams of each other",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "word1": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "The first word"
                },
                "word2": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "The second word"
                }
            },
            "required": [
                "word1",
                "word2"
            ]
        }
    }
]
functions = json.dumps(function_spec, indent=4)

messages = [
    {'role': 'system', 'content': 'You are a helpful assistant with access to functions. Use them if required.'},
    {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Hi, can you tell me the current stock price of google and netflix?'}
]

now = datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

model_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, functions=functions, datetime=now, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
decoded = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)
print(decoded[0])
