What's the best small model for training on tool calls?
Basically, the use case is to use it with an agent which processes a customer's inquiry and suggest a travel itinerary via an API call. I'm thinking this will just be wrapped as a tool call). It should be smart enough also to understand when to call multiple tools to achieve its goal.
Any ideas on this? I need to do a POC with a small model which can run in my RTX 3090. Planning to use unsloth for the fine-tune.
Just wanted to know which model I can use as baseline for this use case.

thanks, i was looking at the wrong license file
replied to their post 9 months ago
@John6666 can the Distil-PII be used for commercial purposes? I am thinking of creating an open source python library but not sure if I can control usage for those who will download it?
I checked the license and it says it's llama 3.2 and you just need to inform Meta if users reach 700M MAU
"2. Additional Commercial Terms. If, on the Llama 3.2 version release date, the monthly active users
of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates,
is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request
a license from Meta"
Did I understand the license correctly?

thank you so much for the detailed reply. i was checking the deployment guide for https://huggingface.co/distil-labs/Distil-PII-Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct but it's not available in their website anymore

I am looking for a model which is good at redaction of sensitive info
Preferably, a small model which I can run locally. If there isn't a small one, I'd be interested to explore even larger ones. I just need it for a project I am building.
Any ideas?

6 Comprehensive Resources on AI Coding
AI coding is moving fast, and it’s getting harder to tell what actually works. Agents, workflows, context management and many other aspects are reshaping how software gets built.
We’ve collected a set of resources to help you understand how AI coding is evolving today and what building strategies work best:
1. AI Agentic Programming: A Survey of Techniques, Challenges, and Opportunities (2508.11126)
Provides a clear taxonomy, compares agent architectures, and exposes practical gaps in tools, benchmarks, and reliability that AI coding agents now struggle with
2. Does AI-Assisted Coding Deliver? A Difference-in-Differences Study of Cursor's Impact on Software Projects (2511.04427)
This survey from Carnegie Mellon University shows causal evidence that LLM agent assistants deliver short-term productivity gains but have lasting quality costs that can slow development over time
3. A Survey of Vibe Coding with Large Language Models (2510.12399)
Turns Vibe Coding from hype into a structured field, categorizing real development workflows. It shows which models, infrastructure, tool requirements, context, and collaboration setups affect real software development outcomes
4. From Code Foundation Models to Agents and Applications: A Practical Guide to Code Intelligence (2511.18538) (from Chinese institutes and companies like ByteDance and Alibaba)
Compares real code LLMs, shows how training and alignment choices affect code quality and security, and connects academic benchmarks to everyday software development
5. Build Your Own Coding Agent via a Step-by-Step Workshop⟶ https://github.com/ghuntley/how-to-build-a-coding-agent
A great guide that covers the basics of building an AI-powered coding assistant – from a chatbot to a file reader/explorer/editor and code search
6. State of AI Coding: Context, Trust, and Subagents⟶ https://www.turingpost.com/p/aisoftwarestack
Here is our in-depth analysis of where AI coding is heading and the new directions we see today – like agent swarms and context management importance – offering an emerging playbook beyond the IDE
