Toolformer: Training LLMs To Use Tools

In this podcast, Timo Schick and Thomas Scialom from Meta AI discuss their research on Toolformer, a language model that can access external tools such as calculators and question-answer search APIs to generate more powerful and accurate output. They explain the limitations of current "vanilla" language models, which cannot access information about the external world, and how Toolformer aims to address these issues by equipping models with the ability to communicate via APIs or external tools. The researchers also share their thoughts on the future of tool-LLM powered products and potential areas of research in this field.
