Sure it does, tool use is huge for actually using this tech to be useful for humans. Which openai and Google seem to have little interest in
Most of the core latest generation models have been focused on this, you can tell them what they have access to and how to use it, the one I have running at home (running on my too old for windows 11 mid-range gaming computer) can search the Web, ingest data into a vector database, and I’m working on a multi-turn system so they can handle more complex tasks with a mix of code and layers of llm evaluation. There’s projects out there that give them control of a system or build entire apps on the spot
You can give them direct access to the terminal if you want to… It’s very easy, but they’re probably just going to trash the system without detailed external guidance
essentially rather than generating a reply meant for a human, they generate a special reply that the software interprets as “call this tool”. in th same way as the system prompt where the model operator tells the system how to behave, you tell the model what tools and parameters are available to it (for example, load page is a common one)… when the software receives a call for the tool, it calls real code to perform an action, which then responds to the model with the result so that it can continue to process. in this way, the model may kind of request access to limited external resources
One of the biggest areas of ongoing research is about incorporating data from outside systems, like databases, specialized models, and, other specialized tools (which are not AI based themselves). And, yes, modern models can do this to various extents already. What the fuck are you even talking about.
Just a SWE baffled by people who have no idea what they’re talking about farming upvotes by demonstrating “The Internet is a series of tubes” levels of cluelessness.
Reminder that fancy text auto complete doesn’t have any capability to do things outside of generating text

Damn, triggered a prompt engineer
