Local LLM Performance vs Frontier Models
Just thought I would share how I compare open source LLMs to the big proprietary models. I prefer using local LLMs for Agent Zero - for privacy, speed, and unlimited use. However, there are some pros and cons - and choosing the best model for Agent0 can be challenging when there are so many models to choose from and new ones being released practically every week. This is where https://artificialanalysis.ai/ comes in very handy. I use this site to compare the intelligence and speed of models against each other. It also has a special page for coding performance. Hope you all find this useful.

Neat. I run all local LLMs so cost = 0. I think most people pick models incorrectly doesn't matter cloud/local. I think a lot of people assume bigger model = better. But many don't follow the golden rule of all ai, pick a model that fits your use case. I've seen people using A0's utility model in the 120B class. It's a utility model it doesn't need that!! They incorrectly understand how A0 works. I mean you do you, but if you are paying for this stuff (cloud) I hope you are really considering your use case and finding the smallest model to meet your needs. Speed, accuracy and concurrency are driving factors. I'm no AI expert at all, not even close!! But I had that mindset when I first started, 'oh let me get the biggest one, or use up as much of the RAM as I can' nah wrong approach. What am I doing, what do I want to achieve, what models are the smallest that will do the job quickly and correctly. Which 'should' be cheaper for those on the cloud wagon. But like I said you do you! (no I'm not talking to you directly I know you are just sharing info) Cheers!
My "perfect" model setup
This setup has been working great for me. The chat and web browser models are both using the Ollama cloud. This is about as good as it gets, I think, without paying the Frontier model pricing.

my god the size of some of these utility models are insane! They don't need to be that big! utility: nemotron-3-super:cloud whaaaaat. Bananas!
Tool_args and tool_name error
I'm getting this error often when my agents try to call tools, skills or other things: ValueError: Tool request must have a tool_args (type dictionary) field Traceback (most recent call last): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/a0/helpers/extension.py", line 176, in _run_async data["result"] = await data["result"] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/a0/agent.py", line 572, in handle_exception raise exception # exception handling is done by extensions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/a0/agent.py", line 485, in monologue tools_result = await self.process_tools(agent_response) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/a0/helpers/extension.py", line 183, in _run_async result = _process_result(data) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/a0/helpers/extension.py", line 143, in _process_result raise exc File "/a0/helpers/extension.py", line 176, in _run_async data["result"] = await data["result"] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/a0/agent.py", line 854, in process_tools await self.validate_tool_request(tool_request) File "/a0/helpers/extension.py", line 183, in _run_async result = _process_result(data) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/a0/helpers/extension.py", line 143, in _process_result raise exc File "/a0/helpers/extension.py", line 176, in _run_async data["result"] = await data["result"] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/a0/agent.py", line 958, in validate_tool_request if not isinstance(tool_name, str) or not tool_name.strip(): ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I've had the agent try to troubleshoot and try to fix multiple times, I've even deleted the whole container and started from scratch. Anyone else having this issue? It ruins my workflow as it stops the agent in their tracks when they are working a task.

What is your "workflow", what is your agent doing and what is it trying to call exactly. Explain the whole flow you go through to hit the issue. Give an example and what you see along the way. The error is clear as day ValueError: Tool request must have a tool_args (type dictionary) field ---something is passing values to a tool in the incorrect format, it expects a dictionary (key value pair) to be passed as an argument (don't know the full list of arguments whatever its calling wants) but you can see in the last line too its trying some more conditionals if not isinstance(tool_name, str) or not tool_name.strip(): hard to say without the whole thing, maybe we can reproduce it if you are doing just vanilla out of the box stuff. Aysnc calls which are heavy at least in agent.py can tricky as heck to get working correctly. The interpreter is juggling so many tasks when its doing async jobs, there's file locking that needs to be tracked all the time, exception handling, its complex stuff. The A0 engineers have done a great job juggling all this. I'm not bashing them. I sure as heck could not do this. But if you share what you are doing to get this error then maybe i can repro it and troubleshoot it but i need to know the whole picture.
