Arcee Agent is a cutting-edge 7B parameter language model specifically designed for function calling and tool use. Initialized from Qwen2-7B, it rivals the performance of much larger models while maintaining efficiency and speed. This model is particularly suited for developers, researchers, and businesses looking to implement sophisticated AI-driven solutions without the computational overhead of larger language models. Compute for training Arcee-Agent was provided by CrusoeAI. Arcee-Agent was trained using Spectrum.

GGUFs are available from CrusoeAI.

Key Features

1. Advanced Function Calling: Arcee Agent excels at interpreting, executing, and chaining function calls. This capability allows it to interact seamlessly with a wide range of external tools, APIs, and services.

2. Multiple Format Support: The model is compatible with various tool use formats, including:

   • Glaive FC v2
   • Salesforce
   • Agent-FLAN

Arcee-Agent performs best when using the VLLM OpenAI FC format, but it also excels with prompt-based solutions. Agent-Spark can accommodate any specific use case or infrastructure needs you may have.

1. Dual-Mode Functionality:

   • Tool Router: Arcee Agent can serve as intelligent middleware, analyzing requests and efficiently routing them to appropriate tools or larger language models for processing.
   • Standalone Chat Agent: Despite its focus on function calling, Arcee Agent is capable of engaging in human-like conversations and completing a wide range of tasks independently.

2. Unparalleled Speed and Efficiency: With its 7B parameter architecture, Arcee Agent delivers rapid response times and efficient processing, making it suitable for real-time applications and resource-constrained environments.

3. Competitive Performance: In function calling and tool use tasks, Arcee Agent competes with the capabilities of models many times its size, offering a cost-effective solution for businesses and developers.
