API Generating Language Model

A API Generating Language Model is a software-generating language model specialized for generating API calls from natural language instructions.

• Context:
  • It can be trained on API documentation and associated natural language descriptions.
  • It takes a specification and outputs an API call with the right components filled in.
  • It focuses on producing valid API calls over full programs.
  • It is evaluated using AST matching against reference APIs.
  • It is optimized for invoking APIs as tools.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • Gorilla LLM ().
  • Anthropic's Claude can produce API calls for a variety of provided APIs.
  • Toolformer LLM.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • A Chatbot LLM is not optimized for API generation.
  • An LLM for Mathematical Reasoning focuses on math not coding.
  • …
