Functionary is a language model that can interpret and execute functions/plugins.
The model determines when to execute functions, whether in parallel or serially, and can understand their outputs. It only triggers functions as needed. Function definitions are given as JSON Schema Objects, similar to OpenAI GPT function calls.
Documentation and more examples: functionary.meetkai.com
To install the required dependencies, run:
pip install -r requirements.txtNow you can start a blazing fast vLLM server. requirements
Small Model:
python3 server_vllm.py --model "meetkai/functionary-small-v2.4" --host 0.0.0.0 --max-model-len 8192Medium model: (click to expand)
If you use multiple GPUs (medium models require: 4A6000 or 2A100 80GB to run), need to use: tensor-parallel-size
python3 server_vllm.py --model "meetkai/functionary-medium-v2.4" --max-model-len 8192 --tensor-parallel-size 2Grammar Sampling
We also offer our own function-calling grammar sampling feature which constrains the LLM's generation to always follow the prompt template, and ensures 100% accuracy for function name. The parameters are generated using the efficient lm-format-enforcer, which ensures that the parameters follow the schema of the tool called. To enable grammar sampling, run the vLLM server with the command-line argument --enable-grammar-sampling:
python3 server_vllm.py --model "meetkai/functionary-medium-v2.4" --max-model-len 8192 --tensor-parallel-size 2 --enable-grammar-samplingNote:
- Grammar Sampling support is applicable only for the V2 models. There is no such support for V1 models.
- Our vLLM server supports the
tool_choice="required"feature in OpenAI Chat Completion API exclusively only when grammar sampling is enabled.
Docker
If you're having trouble with dependencies, and you have nvidia-container-toolkit, you can start your environment like this:

Make sure that the latest version of llama-cpp-python is successully installed in your system. Functionary v2 is fully integrated into llama-cpp-python. You can perform inference using Functionary's GGUF models either via normal chat completion or through llama-cpp-python's OpenAI-compatible server which behaves similarly to ours.
The following is the sample code using normal chat completion:
from llama_cpp import Llama
from llama_cpp.llama_tokenizer import LlamaHFTokenizer
# We should use HF AutoTokenizer instead of llama.cpp's tokenizer because we found that Llama.cpp's tokenizer doesn't give the same result as that from Huggingface. The reason might be in the training, we added new tokens to the tokenizer and Llama.cpp doesn't handle this successfully
llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
repo_id="meetkai/functionary-small-v2.4-GGUF",
filename="functionary-small-v2.4.Q4_0.gguf",
chat_format="functionary-v2",
tokenizer=LlamaHFTokenizer.from_pretrained("meetkai/functionary-small-v2.4-GGUF"),
n_gpu_layers=-1
)
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "what's the weather like in Hanoi?"}
]
tools = [ # For functionary-7b-v2 we use "tools"; for functionary-7b-v1.4 we use "functions" = [{"name": "get_current_weather", "description":..., "parameters": ....}]
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "get_current_weather",

"type": "object",

"location": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The city and state, e.g., San Francisco, CA"
}
},
"required": ["location"]
}
}
}
]
result = llm.create_chat_completion(
messages = messages,
tools=tools,
tool_choice="auto",
)
print(result["choices"][0]["message"])The output would be:
{'role': 'assistant', 'content': None, 'tool_calls': [{'type': 'function', 'function': {'name': 'get_current_weather', 'arguments': '{\n "location": "Hanoi"\n}'}}]}For more details, please refer to the Function Calling section in llama-cpp-python. To use our Functionary GGUF models using llama-cpp-python's OpenAI-compatible server, please refer to here for more details and documentation.
Note:
- For Functionary in llama-cpp-python, the default system messages are added automatically during the API call. Therefore, there is no need to provide the default system messages in
messages. - Streaming feature for Functionary models in both the normal chat completion and in llama-cpp-python's OpenAI-compatible server is officially supported from v0.2.70 onwards.
To call the real python function, get the result and extract the result to respond, you can use chatlab. The following example uses chatlab==0.16.0:
Please note that Chatlab currently doesn't support Parallel Function calls. This sample code is compatible only with Functionary Version 1.4 and may not work correctly with Functionary Version 2.0.
from chatlab import Conversation
import openai
import os
openai.api_key = "functionary" # We just need to set this something other than None
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = "functionary" # chatlab requires us to set this too
openai.api_base = "http://localhost:8000/v1"
# now provide the function with description
def get_car_price(car_name: str):
"""this function is used to get the price of the car given the name
:param car_name: name of the car to get the price
"""
car_price = {
"tang": {"price": "$20000"},
"song": {"price": "$25000"}
}
for key in car_price:
if key in car_name.lower():
return {"price": car_price[key]}
return {"price": "unknown"}
chat = Conversation(model="meetkai/functionary-7b-v2")
chat.register(get_car_price) # register this function
chat.submit("what is the price of the car named Tang?") # submit user prompt
# print the flow
for message in chat.messages:
role = message["role"].upper()
if "function_call" in message:
func_name = message["function_call"]["name"]
func_param = message["function_call"]["arguments"]
print(f"{role}: call function: {func_name}, arguments:{func_param}")
else:
content = message["content"]
print(f"{role}: {content}")The output will look like this:
USER: what is the price of the car named Tang?
ASSISTANT: call function: get_car_price, arguments:{
"car_name": "Tang"
}
FUNCTION: {'price': {'price': '$20000'}}
ASSISTANT: The price of the car named Tang is $20,000.
Serverless deployment of Functionary models is supported via the modal_server_vllm.py script. After signing up and installing Modal, follow these steps to deploy our vLLM server on Modal:
- Create dev environment
modal environment create devIf you have a dev environment created already, there is no need to create another one. Just configure to it in the next step.
- Configure dev environment
modal config set-environment dev- Serve Functionary Model
modal serve modal_server_vllm- Deploy Runner
modal deploy modal_server_vllmHere are a few examples of how you can use this function calling system:
The function plan_trip(destination: string, duration: int, interests: list) can take user input such as "I want to plan a 7-day trip to Paris with a focus on art and culture" and generate an itinerary accordingly.

If you would like a commentary from the model, then you'll call the model again with the response from the function, the model will write necessary commentary.
A function like estimate_property_value(property_details: dict) could allow users to input details about a property (such as location, size, number of rooms, etc.) and receive an estimated market value.

A function parse_customer_complaint(complaint: {issue: string, frequency: string, duration: string}) could help in extracting structured information from a complex, narrative customer complaint, identifying the core issue and potential solutions. The complaint object could include properties such as issue (the main problem), frequency (how often the issue occurs), and duration (how long the issue has been occurring).

We convert function definitions to a similar text to TypeScript definitions. Then we inject these definitions as system prompts. After that, we inject the default system prompt. Then we start the conversation messages.
The prompt example can be found here: V1 and V2
We don't change the logit probabilities to conform to a certain schema, but the model itself knows how to conform. This allows us to use existing tools and caching systems with ease.
