Function Calling response arguments if it is not specified

API
1

Hi, I am using a function calling for one of my use cases. In the function definition, I have not passed any arguments. But when the GPT returns the function name then it also returns the arguments.

This above is implemented in stream=True condition in GPT 3.5 Turbo 16K.

Code Sample:-

function = [

 {
        "name": "not_interested_buying_iphone_decision",
        "description": "Triggers when the user expresses disinterest in purchasing the iPhone. This function is called based on the ongoing conversation.",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {}
        }
    },
]
for chunk in response:
      print(chunk)
      try:
          if chunk['choices'] and chunk['choices'][0] and chunk['choices'][0].get('delta') and chunk['choices'][0]['delta'].get("content"):
              print(chunk['choices'][0]['delta']["content"], end="")
              complete_streamed_text += chunk['choices'][0]['delta']["content"]

          elif chunk['choices'] and chunk['choices'][0] and chunk['choices'][0].get('delta') and chunk['choices'][0]['delta'].get("function_call") and chunk['choices'][0]['delta']["function_call"].get("name"):
              function_name = chunk['choices'][0]['delta']["function_call"]["name"].strip()
          elif chunk['choices'] and chunk['choices'][0] and chunk['choices'][0].get('delta') and chunk['choices'][0]['delta'].get("function_call") and chunk['choices'][0]['delta']["function_call"].get("arguments"):
              print("INSIDE ARGUMENTS")
              argument += chunk['choices'][0]['delta']["function_call"]["arguments"].strip()
      except:
          print("Error")
          pass

Please help, its a bit urgent

Hey, can you please provide a concrete example of when this happens? (what’s the user message)

imho it’s possible that this use case is not explicit enough and possibly some more context in the system message could help.
