Show HN: Use functional tokens for AI agents to simplify app workflows

80 pointsby alanzhuly12 months ago
Hi HN! I want to share our latest project at NEXA AI. We developed AI agent foundation models designed to transform how developers create AI agent powered apps.<p>One major challenge we&#x27;ve observed with current human-computer interactions is that many simple, one-step tasks become unnecessarily complex, multi-step workflows due to limitations of current GUIs. AI agents can solve this, but existing AI agent models are slow and costly.<p>To tackle these issues, we built lightweight AI agent models based on our Octopus V2, small language models for function calling (You can learn more about our functional token approach in our paper: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;papers&#x2F;2404.01744" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;papers&#x2F;2404.01744</a>). These models support developers in building AI agents both on-device and in the cloud. Our function calling models are 4 times faster, 10 times cheaper, and more accurate than GPT-4o.<p>We’d love for you to try out our model APIs and see the difference for yourself. Your feedback and thoughts are incredibly valuable to us, and we’re here to answer any questions you might have.<p>Links:<p>Website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nexa4ai.com&#x2F;octoverse" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nexa4ai.com&#x2F;octoverse</a><p>Playground: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.nexa4ai.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.nexa4ai.com</a><p>Documentation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.nexa4ai.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.nexa4ai.com&#x2F;</a><p>Join Discord to discuss: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discord.com&#x2F;invite&#x2F;thRu2HaK4D" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discord.com&#x2F;invite&#x2F;thRu2HaK4D</a><p>Paper: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;papers&#x2F;2404.01744" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;papers&#x2F;2404.01744</a>

I see that I can change the implementation of those functions in a particular model you have. Is it possible to change the defined functions(APIs) to fit my use cases?

The playground demo looks good, but how does the model perform under real-world conditions with high demand and diverse user inputs?

What kind of dev-specific use case would this help with?

What is your differentiation with Multion Agent API?

Do the models work on mobile apps? Or just web apps?
