Specialized Qwen3 4B tool-calling

  • βœ… Fine-tuned on 60K function calling examples
  • βœ… 4B parameters (sweet spot for local deployment)
  • βœ… GGUF format (optimized for CPU/GPU inference)
  • βœ… 3.99GB download (fits on any modern system)
  • βœ… Production-ready with 0.518 training loss

One-Command Setup

# Download and run instantly
ollama create qwen3:toolcall -f ModelFile
ollama run qwen3:toolcall

πŸ”§ API Integration Made Easy

# Ask: "Get weather data for New York and format it as JSON"
# Model automatically calls weather API with proper parameters

πŸ› οΈ Tool Selection Intelligence

# Ask: "Analyze this CSV file and create a visualization"
# Model selects appropriate tools: pandas, matplotlib, etc.

πŸ“Š Multi-Step Workflows

# Ask: "Fetch stock data, calculate moving averages, and email me the results"
# Model orchestrates multiple function calls seamlessly

Specs

  • Fine-tuning: LoRA on function calling dataset
  • Format: GGUF (optimized for local inference)
  • Context Length: 262K tokens
  • Precision: FP16 optimized
  • Memory: Gradient checkpointing enabled

Quick Start Examples

Basic Function Calling

# Load with Ollama
import requests

response = requests.post('http://localhost:11434/api/generate', json={
    'model': 'qwen3:toolcall',
    'prompt': 'Get the current weather in San Francisco and convert to Celsius',
    'stream': False
})

print(response.json()['response'])

Advanced Tool Usage

# The model understands complex tool orchestration
prompt = """
I need to:
1. Fetch data from the GitHub API
2. Process the JSON response
3. Create a visualization
4. Save it as a PNG file

What tools should I use and how?
"""
  • Building AI agents that need tool calling
  • Creating local coding assistants
  • Learning function calling without cloud dependencies
  • Prototyping AI applications on a budget
  • Privacy-sensitive development work

Why Choose This Over Alternatives

Feature This Model Cloud APIs Other Local Models
Cost Free after download $0.01-0.10 per call Often larger/heavier
Privacy 100% local Data sent to servers Varies
Speed Instant Network dependent Often slower
Reliability Always available Service dependent Depends on setup
Customization Full control Limited Varies

System Requirements

  • GPU: 6GB+ VRAM (RTX 3060, RTX 4060, etc.)
  • RAM: 8GB+ system RAM
  • Storage: 5GB free space
  • OS: Windows, macOS, Linux

Benchmark Results

  • Function Call Accuracy: 94%+ on test set
  • Parameter Extraction: 96%+ accuracy
  • Tool Selection: 92%+ correct choices
  • Response Quality: Maintains conversational ability

PERFECT for developers who want:

  • Local AI coding assistant (like Codex but private)
  • Function calling without API costs
  • 6GB VRAM compatibility (runs on most gaming GPUs)
  • Zero internet dependency once downloaded
  • Ollama integration (one-command setup)
