@chrismessina I think "function calling" is no longer the right term. It seems they updated it to "tool calling", which makes more sense in my opinion.

A very crucial update, will be integrated with the latest API and SDK as soon as possible.
New tools for developers!
That's wonderful! I can't wait to try developing my own agent with this.
This is amazing news!! Definitely going to try this out. I especially love the tracing feature.
excellent services
Lovely update... I am building a simple product with it as we speak, should be ready within the next few days.
