Last year, we explored a significant AI framework that connected large language models (LLMs) with extensive APIs. This framework essentially enables an AI model to access numerous tools and plugins, making it more versatile and powerful. Today, I’d like to reintroduce a project called Gorilla. Gorilla allows LLMs to utilize tools by invoking APIs based on natural language queries. This means Gorilla can determine the correct API to call, ensuring that the AI model selects the best application or plugin for your query, resulting in accurate and efficient outputs.
What is Gorilla?
Gorilla is a framework that enhances the capabilities of LLMs by enabling them to invoke over 1,600 APIs accurately, thereby reducing hallucinations (incorrect outputs) and improving overall performance. Recently, Gorilla has introduced several exciting updates, including Open Functions, Agent Marketplace, GoX, and RAFT. These updates further enhance its functionality, making it a robust tool for various applications.
Key Updates in Gorilla
Open Functions Version 2:
Parallel Functions: Train the model to support parallel functions, allowing it to generate and select multiple functions simultaneously.
Support for Multiple Programming Languages: Extends the dataset to include APIs for Java, Python, and more.
User-Centric Design: Enables interaction with a wide range of services through LLMs, allowing users to invoke APIs as needed.
Enhanced Functionality: Supports more data types, improves compatibility with diverse applications, and enhances handling of RESTful API calls for better web service performance.
Agent Marketplace:
Unified Interface: Access over 150 certified agents from various sources through a unified interface with user reviews.
Task Automation: Automate tasks like data extraction and API interaction.
Collaborative Environment: Enable users to review and contribute to agents, enhancing productivity.
GoX (Autonomous Runtime):
Minimal Human Supervision: Execute autonomous LLM applications with minimal human oversight.
Undo Feature: Validate actions post-execution with an undo feature to mitigate risks.
Support for RESTful API Calls: Enables LLMs to interact with applications and services autonomously, handling tasks like sending messages and managing files safely.
RAFT (Retrieval Augmented Fine-Tuning):
Domain-Specific Knowledge: Fine-tune models to utilize domain-specific knowledge stored in documents.
Accurate Responses: Improve the model’s ability to provide accurate responses by effectively sifting through relevant documents.
Specialized Tasks: Enhance performance in specialized tasks, such as biomedical research or enterprise data retrieval.
Getting Started with Gorilla
To get started with Gorilla and its updates, follow these steps:
Install Open Functions Version 2:
You can find the model on popular AI model hosting platforms. The installation process typically involves downloading the model and integrating it into your application.
Utilize the Agent Marketplace:
Access the marketplace to explore and deploy various agents. The marketplace provides user reviews and a progress bar for agent validation, making it easy to find the right agent for your needs.
Run Autonomous Applications with GoX:
Use GoX to execute autonomous applications with features like action validation and risk mitigation. This runtime supports RESTful API calls and allows for safe and controlled interactions with applications.
Enhance Models with RAFT:
Fine-tune your models using RAFT to improve their ability to handle domain-specific tasks. RAFT focuses on extracting relevant information from documents, ensuring accurate responses.
Example: Using Open Functions Version 2
Here’s a quick example of how to integrate Open Functions Version 2 into your application:
Install the Model:
pip install open-functionsIntegrate into Your Application:
from open_functions import OpenFunction
# Initialize the model
model = OpenFunction()
# Example API call
query = "Fetch current weather data"
response = model.invoke_api(query)
print(response)Example: Deploying an Agent from the Marketplace
Search for an Agent:
Access the Agent Marketplace and search for an agent that meets your needs, such as a data extraction agent.
Deploy the Agent:
from agent_marketplace import Agent
# Initialize the agent
agent = Agent(name="Data Extraction Agent")
# Deploy the agent
agent.deploy()
# Example task
data = agent.extract_data(source="example_source")
print(data)Conclusion
Gorilla is a powerful framework that enhances the capabilities of LLMs by enabling them to invoke APIs accurately and autonomously. With updates like Open Functions, Agent Marketplace, GoX, and RAFT, Gorilla provides a comprehensive solution for various applications, from task automation to domain-specific knowledge retrieval.
If you’re interested in exploring these features further, I encourage you to check out the resources available and get started with Gorilla. It’s an exciting time for AI development, and tools like Gorilla are paving the way for more advanced and efficient AI solutions.
