ONNX Chat with Function Calling

Extending the Phi-3's world knowledge with functions

THE CLI does NOT currently work with ONNX/Phi-3

The C# sample w/ functions DOES work with ONNX/Phi-3

Without functions
ai chat --model-path @mp --user "What time is it?"
With built-in functions
ai chat --model-path @mp --user "What time is it?" --built-in-functions
File interaction without functions
ai chat --model-path @mp --user "What is in the README.md file?"
File interaction with built-in functions
ai chat --model-path @mp --user "What is in the README.md file?" --built-in-functions

Allowing the LLM to interact with your code

Without functions
ai chat --model-path @mp --user "Save the pledge of allegiance to 'pledge.txt'"
With built-in functions
ai chat --model-path @mp --user "Save the pledge of allegiance to 'pledge.txt'" --built-in-functions

Generate code for the scenarios above

The ai dev new command allows you to generate sample code that demonstrates how to use ONNX with Phi-3 models and Function Calling.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need to install the ai CLI and set up an ONNX model.

Install the ai CLI
Setup ONNX and Phi-3 Model
