AI Analysis

●●●BangerBig BrainNiche Gem

Makes 1.5B models 10% more accurate by hiding 90% of tool descriptions.

Strengths
  • Decomposes tool selection probability into family versus specific tool selection math.
  • Cuts token usage by 97% for tiny models without sacrificing accuracy.
  • Benchmarked on Ollama with 1,000+ calls across four different model sizes.
Weaknesses
  • Requires manual tool family tagging which adds setup overhead for developers.
  • Benefits diminish significantly once you move past 35B parameter models.
