Functionary

Functionary is a language model that can interpret and execute functions/plugins.

The model determines when to execute functions, whether in parallel or serially, and can understand their outputs. It only triggers functions as needed. Function definitions are given as JSON Schema Objects, similar to OpenAI GPT function calls.

Documentation and more examples: functionary.meetkai.com

Setup

Make sure you have PyTorch installed (2.1.2). Then to install the required dependencies, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you can start a blazing fast vLLM server. requirements

Small Model:

python3 server_vllm.py --model "meetkai/functionary-small-v2.4" --host 0.0.0.0 --max-model-len 8192

Medium model: (click to expand)

If you use multiple GPUs (medium models require: 4A6000 or 2A100 80GB to run), need to use: tensor-parallel-size

python3 server_vllm.py --model "meetkai/functionary-medium-v2.4" --max-model-len 8192 --tensor-parallel-size 2

If you're having trouble with dependencies, and you have nvidia-container-toolkit, you can start your environment like this:

sudo docker run --gpus all -it --ipc=host --name functionary -v ${PWD}/functionary_workspace:/workspace -p 8000:8000 nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:23.10-py3

Llama.cpp Inference

Make sure that llama-cpp-python is successully installed in your system. Functionary v2 is fully integrated into llama-cpp-python from v0.2.18 onwards. You can perform inference using Functionary's GGUF models either via normal chat completion or through llama-cpp-python's OpenAI-compatible server which behaves similarly to ours.

The following is the sample code using normal chat completion:

from llama_cpp import Llama
from llama_cpp.llama_tokenizer import LlamaHFTokenizer

# We should use HF AutoTokenizer instead of llama.cpp's tokenizer because we found that Llama.cpp's tokenizer doesn't give the same result as that from Huggingface. The reason might be in the training, we added new tokens to the tokenizer and Llama.cpp doesn't handle this successfully
llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
    repo_id="meetkai/functionary-small-v2.4-GGUF",
    filename="functionary-small-v2.4.Q4_0.gguf",
    chat_format="functionary-v2",
    tokenizer=LlamaHFTokenizer.from_pretrained("meetkai/functionary-small-v2.4-GGUF"),
    n_gpu_layers=-1
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "what's the weather like in Hanoi?"}
]
tools = [ # For functionary-7b-v2 we use "tools"; for functionary-7b-v1.4 we use "functions" = [{"name": "get_current_weather", "description":..., "parameters": ....}]
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "get_current_weather",
            "description": "Get the current weather",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "location": {
                        "type": "string",
                        "description": "The city and state, e.g., San Francisco, CA"
                    }
                },
                "required": ["location"]
            }
        }
    }
]

result = llm.create_chat_completion(
      messages = messages,
      tools=tools,
      tool_choice="auto",
)

print(result["choices"][0]["message"])

The output would be:

{'role': 'assistant', 'content': None, 'tool_calls': [{'type': 'function', 'function': {'name': 'get_current_weather', 'arguments': '{\n  "location": "Hanoi"\n}'}}]}

For more details, please refer to the Function Calling section in llama-cpp-python. To use our Functionary GGUF models using llama-cpp-python's OpenAI-compatible server, please refer to here for more details and documentation.

Note: llama-cpp-python's OpenAI-compatible server does not support streaming for Functionary models yet as of v0.2.50.

Call Real Python Function

To call the real python function, get the result and extract the result to respond, you can use chatlab. The following example uses chatlab==0.16.0:

Please note that Chatlab currently doesn't support Parallel Function calls. This sample code is compatible only with Functionary Version 1.4 and may not work correctly with Functionary Version 2.0.

from chatlab import Conversation
import openai
import os
openai.api_key = "functionary" # We just need to set this something other than None
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = "functionary" # chatlab requires us to set this too
openai.api_base = "http://localhost:8000/v1"

# now provide the function with description
def get_car_price(car_name: str):
    """this function is used to get the price of the car given the name
    :param car_name: name of the car to get the price
    """
    car_price = {
        "tang": {"price": "$20000"},
        "song": {"price": "$25000"} 
    }
    for key in car_price:
        if key in car_name.lower():
            return {"price": car_price[key]}
    return {"price": "unknown"}

chat = Conversation(model="meetkai/functionary-7b-v2")
chat.register(get_car_price)  # register this function
chat.submit("what is the price of the car named Tang?") # submit user prompt

# print the flow
for message in chat.messages:
    role = message["role"].upper()
    if "function_call" in message:
        func_name = message["function_call"]["name"]
        func_param = message["function_call"]["arguments"]
        print(f"{role}: call function: {func_name}, arguments:{func_param}")
    else:
        content = message["content"]
        print(f"{role}: {content}")

The output will look like this:

USER: what is the price of the car named Tang?
ASSISTANT: call function: get_car_price, arguments:{
  "car_name": "Tang"
}
FUNCTION: {'price': {'price': '$20000'}}
ASSISTANT: The price of the car named Tang is $20,000.

Use Cases

Here are a few examples of how you can use this function calling system:

Travel and Hospitality - Trip Planning

The function plan_trip(destination: string, duration: int, interests: list) can take user input such as "I want to plan a 7-day trip to Paris with a focus on art and culture" and generate an itinerary accordingly.

client.chat.completions.create((
    model="meetkai/functionary-7b-v2",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": 'I want to plan a 7-day trip to Paris with a focus on art and culture'},
    ], 
    tools=[
        {
            "type": "function",
            "function": {
                "name": "plan_trip",
                "description": "Plan a trip based on user's interests",
                "parameters": {
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "destination": {
                            "type": "string",
                            "description": "The destination of the trip",
                        },
                        "duration": {
                            "type": "integer",
                            "description": "The duration of the trip in days",
                        },
                        "interests": {
                            "type": "array",
                            "items": {"type": "string"},
                            "description": "The interests based on which the trip will be planned",
                        },
                    },
                    "required": ["destination", "duration", "interests"],
                }
            }
        }    
    ]
)

Response will have:

{"role": "assistant", "content": null, "tool_calls": [{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "plan_trip", "arguments": '{\n  "destination": "Paris",\n  "duration": 7,\n  "interests": ["art", "culture"]\n}'}}]}

Then you need to call plan_trip function with provided arguments. If you would like a commentary from the model, then you'll call the model again with the response from the function, the model will write necessary commentary.

Real Estate - Property Valuation

A function like estimate_property_value(property_details: dict) could allow users to input details about a property (such as location, size, number of rooms, etc.) and receive an estimated market value.

            "content": 'What is the estimated value of a 3-bedroom house in San Francisco with 2000 sq ft area?'
        },
        {
            "role": "assistant", 
            "content": None, 
            "tool_calls": [
                {

                    }
                }
            ]
        }

                                    "description": "The location of the property"
                                },
                                "size": {

                                },
                                "rooms": {
                                    "type": "integer",
                                    "description": "The number of rooms in the property"
                                }
                            },
                            "required": ["location", "size", "rooms"]
                        }
                    },
                    "required": ["property_details"]
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    tool_choice="auto"
)

Response will have:

{"role": "assistant", "content": null, "tool_calls": [{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "plan_trip", "arguments": '{\n  "destination": "Paris",\n  "duration": 7,\n  "interests": ["art", "culture"]\n}'}}]}

Then you need to call plan_trip function with provided arguments. If you would like a commentary from the model, then you'll call the model again with the response from the function, the model will write necessary commentary.

Telecommunications - Customer Support

A function parse_customer_complaint(complaint: {issue: string, frequency: string, duration: string}) could help in extracting structured information from a complex, narrative customer complaint, identifying the core issue and potential solutions. The complaint object could include properties such as issue (the main problem), frequency (how often the issue occurs), and duration (how long the issue has been occurring).

    ], 
    tools=[

                        "required": ["issue", "frequency", "duration"],
                    },
                },
                "required": ["complaint"],
            }
        }
     }
    ],
    tool_choice="auto"
)

Response will have:

{"role": "assistant", "content": null, "tool_calls": [{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "parse_customer_complaint", "arguments": '{\n  "complaint": {"issue": "internet disconnecting", "frequency": "frequently", "duration": "past week"}\n}'}}]}

Then you need to call parse_customer_complaint function with provided arguments. If you would like a commentary from the model, then you'll call the model again with the response from the function, the model will write necessary commentary.

How it Works?

We convert function definitions to a similar text to TypeScript definitions. Then we inject these definitions as system prompts. After that, we inject the default system prompt. Then we start the conversation messages.

The prompt example can be found here: V1 and V2

We don't change the logit probabilities to conform to a certain schema, but the model itself knows how to conform. This allows us to use existing tools and caching systems with ease.
