Model tries to call unknown function multi_tool_use.parallel

[_j]

I’m sorry to hear that. Properly using the tool that is a wrapper, where the output of the other “functions” tool should instead be placed in a new described tool for parallel tool calls, is a challenge to AI comprehension. Even challenging for a human to read and play along at home when seeing the instructions of the parallel function call wrapper - which has the name in the topic title.

Is it possible to disable parallel_tool_calls in function level?

The multi_tool_use.parallel function wrapper, as placed in the AI’s tools section, is designed to execute multiple tools simultaneously, provided they can operate in parallel. This capability is particularly useful when you want to leverage the efficiency of running concurrent operations without waiting for each to complete sequentially. However, it’s important to note that this wrapper cannot be disabled on a per-function level, meaning all specified tools within it will be executed in paralle…

What can you do?

• disable parallel tool calls with API parameter to do so, removing the additional tool;
• decrease temperature or top_p, and put both into use;
• if on gpt-4o, you can use structured outputs strict specification if compatible with the function;
• you can revert to functions, which for the AI comprehension side is pretty similar, no parallel functions.
• use a capable AI model, and ask OpenAI (fruitlessly for a year and a half) to stop providing unstable models of the same name which they stealth modify.
