The Toolformer methodology uses in-context learning techniques as its foundation to create complete datasets from scratch. Toolformer is a model trained by Meta AI to decide which APIs to call, when to call them, what arguments to pass, and how to best incorporate the results into future token prediction. This is done in a self-supervised way, requiring nothing more than a handful of demonstrations for each API. They incorporate a range of tools, including a:

• calculator
• Q&A system
• search engine
• translation system
• calendar

Toolformer achieves substantially improved zero-shot performance across a variety of downstream tasks, often competitive with much larger models, without sacrificing its core language modeling abilities.

• Given just a handful of human-written examples of how an API can be used, we let a language model (LM) annotate a huge language modeling dataset with potential API calls.
• We then use a self-supervised loss to determine which of these API calls actually help the model in predicting future tokens.
• Finally, we finetune the LM itself on the API calls that it considers useful.

Better Than GPT-3? Meta Unveils Mind-Blowing AI That Will Change Everything | AI News Everyone is wondering when we'll finally get [Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) GPT-4], but Meta AI's latest research revealed a game-changing AI model called ToolFormer. With ToolFormer, the future of natural language processing just got a whole lot smarter. Welcome to this edition of AI News here on PathFinder! Is ToolFormer really better than [Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) GPT-3]? Is "Mind-blowing AI that will change everything" an overstatement? Traditional language models, like ChatGPT built on [Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) GPT-3.5], and to some extent Bing's chatbot Sydney, are limited to their own internal knowledge and training data, which means they can often struggle with basic tasks that fall outside of their core competency of text generation. ToolFormer, on the other hand, can understand what you're asking for, and then figure out the best way to provide an answer or perform a task using the right tool or software program. And it can do all of this nearly autonomously, making it a powerful tool for augmenting human intelligence and improving our ability to perform a wide range of tasks, i.e. the ultimate assistant as far as artificial intelligence goes.
