You're right!

IIRC, only the function signatures (or descriptions) are counted as part of the context window so you could add as many till you exceed that limit. Since the contents of the function itself are not counted, your function can be whatever length.

As of now, no. I can see why this may be a problem soon since right now all functions are available for gpt-4 and each call can become expensive pretty quickly if you send like 50 functions every time.

I'm not sure how to address this yet, but I'd like to think of it as some form of fine-tuning that happens after having a few conversations. Will keep you in the loop!




Ah, that makes sense. So on their end they’re just passing the descriptions to the llm (plus some wrapper to let it know it’s a func) and then they pipeline the data in and out of the chosen function. That has always confused me but I think I get it now. Thanks!
