Configure model to use tools #339

Open

Description

@BDHU

I wonder how I can enable tooling calling when using ollama's gpt-oss-20B? It seems gpt-oss-20B supports browsing the web and other tooling calling function, but is there any way to configure openevolve to also support this? Thanks!

    You can use OptiLLM to put the model behind a proxy where you can do tool calling or more complex agent workflow for each request. See the example in https://github.com/algorithmicsuperintelligence/openevolve/tree/main/examples/web_scraper_optillm that shows how to use the read urls and mixture of agents plugins from OptiLLM.

    @codelion Thanks for the reply. I assume it is also possible to create an openai-compatible wrapper that takes an existing message and insert tool calling/websearch function into the prompt correct? My impression is openevolve just expects an openai-compatible API so this should work as well?

    Yes, that's what OptiLLM does as well, insert the tool calls/plugins and provide an openAI compatible API.
