Function Calling Agent (Part 2, Introduction to Agents)

[@ahmadalobaid9668]

Was wondering if we can use tool calling with a local LLM instead of and API

[@jeanvassalo3255]

I dont understand the difference between an agent worker and an agent runner. Neither do I understand the difference between the function calling agent and the React agent ?

[@LiquidMasti]

great question I'm seeing only usecase of uber and Lyft please provide a more comprehensive guide

[@zacharycross384]

Agreed, it’s not clear when and under what circumstances to apply the various agents or sub-agents

[@Naveensairaheem]

Have you understand the difference? If yes, could you please share what you learned. Thank you in advance!!

I see ReAct agent response is accurate compared to FunctionCallingAgentWorker. below is one such example, am using gpt-4 model. Have anyone faced same issue?
ReAct Agent
response = agent.chat("What is 20+(2*4*3*4)+(15+15)-(15*2)? Calculate step by step.")
--So, 20+(2*4*3*4)+(15+15)-(15*2) = 116.
FunctionCallingAgentWorker
response = agent.chat("What is 20+(2*4*3*4)+(15+15)-(15*2)? Calculate step by step.")
-Added user message to memory: What is 20+(2*4*3*4)+(15+15)-(15*2)? Calculate step by step.

I figured out the issue. By default the agent will run a max of 5 function calls. when i changed the value max_function_calls= 50 then results are accurate.
