At the time of recording, Arcee Agent is one of the top models for function calls and tool usage, outperforming GPT-3.5 and current versions of GPT-4o.

Arcee Agent was built on Arcee Cloud and you can learn more at arcee.ai/product/arceecloud.

Here, I run the full precision model on my M3 MacBook and ollama to build a financial agent able to invoke the Yahoo Finance API to answer questions on listed companies: what's the stock price? Who's the CEO? What is this company doing? and more.

Along the way, I also show you that you don't need Github Copilot to explain code and generate documentation. You can use Arcee-Spark locally instead!
