# POC

# FORKED FROM
# 🧠 NanoAgent — 135M Parameter Agentic LLM

NanoAgent is a compact 135M parameter, 8k context-length language model trained to **perform tool calls** and **generate responses based on tool outputs**.  
Despite its small size (~135 MB in 8-bit precision), it’s optimized for agentic use cases and runs easily on personal devices.

**Github:** [NanoAgent](https://github.com/QuwsarOhi/NanoAgent)

**Inference resource:** [link](https://github.com/QuwsarOhi/NanoAgent/blob/main/notebooks/inference.ipynb)

## ✨ Features

- 🧰 **Tool Calling** — understands and responds with structured outputs from tool calls.  
- 🧭 **Instruction Following** — strong instruction following abilities.  
- 🧠 **Basic Reasoning** — handles lightweight reasoning and ReAct-style interactions.  
- ⚡ **Lightweight** — runs on local hardware with minimal resources.

## 🧪 Training Overview

**Base model:** [`SmolLM2-135M-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct)  
**Fine-tuning method:** [Dynamic Fine-Tuning (DFT)](https://github.com/yongliang-wu/DFT/tree/master)  
**Hardware:** Apple Mac M1 (16 GB Unified Memory) using MLX.

### 📚 Datasets Used

- `microsoft/orca-math-word-problems-200k` — lightweight reasoning  
- `allenai/tulu-3-sft-personas-instruction-following` — instruction following  
- `xingyaoww/code-act` — ReAct style reasoning and action  
- `m-a-p/Code-Feedback` — alignment via feedback  
- `HuggingFaceTB/smoltalk` + `/apigen` — tool calling stabilization  
- `weijie210/gsm8k_decomposed` — question decomposition  
- `Locutusque/function-calling-chatml` — tool call response structure

## ⚠️ Disclaimer

This is a **beta model**.  
- It may produce **incorrect** or **incomplete** outputs.  
- Tool call execution is **basic** and can fail in some cases.  
- Intended for **research and experimentation** only — not production use.

## 🧭 Roadmap

- ✅ Initial release with DFT fine-tuning  
- 🧪 Benchmarking on agentic tasks  
- ~~🔬 Experimenting with GRPO for tool calling (failed)~~
- 🧠 Weight merging experiments for improved performance
- Add more tool calling dataset

## ⚡ Example Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "quwsarohi/NanoAgent-135M"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

def inference(messages, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.3, min_p=0.15, **kwargs):
    input_text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
        messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
    )
    inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
    outputs = model.generate(
        inputs,
        max_new_tokens=max_new_tokens,
        do_sample=True,
        min_p=0.15,
        temperature=temperature,
        **kwargs
    )
    return tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.shape[1] :], skip_special_tokens=True)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Hi! Do you have a name?"}]
print(inference(messages))
```

Use the following template for tool calling:
```python
TOOL_TEMPLATE = """You are a helpful AI assistant. You have a set of possible functions/tools inside <tools></tools> tags. 
Based on question, you may need to make one or more function/tool calls to answer user.

You have access to the following tools/functions:
<tools>{tools}</tools>

For each function call, return a JSON list object with function name and arguments within <tool_call></tool_call> tags."""
```

Sample tool call definition:
```json
{
  "name": "web_search",
  "description": "Performs a web search for a query and returns a string of the top search results formatted as markdown with titles, links, and descriptions.",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "query": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "The search query to perform.",
      }
    },
    "required": ["query"],
  },
}
```
