UnverifiedFor early-stage products with varied tasks and unstable requirements, using general-purpose model APIs directly is more flexible and faster than specialized training.76% similarUnverifiedNot all local small models can reliably support tool calling; this capability requires the model to be specifically fine-tuned for the Function Calling format during training.75% similarUnverifiedTrained classical models can run locally, avoiding the per-call billing costs of calling large model APIs.75% similarUnverifiedTools such as the Training API lower the barrier to custom training, enabling teams with high-quality proprietary data to convert their data advantage into a model advantage.73% similarVerifiedAn open-weights strategy means that model parameters can be downloaded and used for free, but training data and the complete training process are generally not made public, and it has become the mainstream choice for companies such as Meta Llama and Mistral.73% similar
