# Tool Calling Viability: Bonsai 1-Bit Models
**Epic**: #99 (1-Bit Models + Edge)
**Date**: TBD (run benchmarks/test_tool_calling.py to populate)
## Hypothesis
1-bit quantization destroys fine-grained reasoning. Tool calling (precise JSON output) may be impossible at Q1_0. But worth testing — the field is moving fast.
## Models to Test
| Model | Size | Quant | Source |
|-------|------|-------|--------|
| Bonsai-1.7B | 1.7B | Q1_0 | prism-ml/Bonsai-1.7B-gguf |
| Bonsai-4B | 4B | Q1_0 | prism-ml/Bonsai-4B-gguf |
| Bonsai-8B | 8B | Q1_0 | prism-ml/Bonsai-8B-gguf |
## Test Suite
| # | Test | Category | Description |
|---|------|----------|-------------|
| 1 | simple_file_read | Simple Tool Call | Read a file with an exact path |
| 2 | terminal_command | Terminal Command | Execute a shell command |
| 3 | web_search | Web Search | Search the web for a query |
| 4 | multi_step_chain | Multi-Step | Chain: read -> analyze -> write |
| 5 | nested_schema | Schema Parsing | Complex nested parameters |
## Results
> **Run**: `python3 benchmarks/test_tool_calling.py --model bonsai-1.7b --output benchmarks/bonsai-tool-calling.md`
| Test | Bonsai-1.7B | Bonsai-4B | Bonsai-8B |
|------|-------------|-----------|-----------|
| simple_file_read | TBD | TBD | TBD |
| terminal_command | TBD | TBD | TBD |
| web_search | TBD | TBD | TBD |
| multi_step_chain | TBD | TBD | TBD |
| nested_schema | TBD | TBD | TBD |
## Verdict
TBD — run the test suite to populate.
## Failure Modes (if any)
TBD — document specific failure patterns observed.
## Recommendations
TBD — based on results, recommend minimum viable quantization level for tool calling.

"""
Tool Calling Viability Test for 1-Bit / Edge Models (Issue #101)
Tests whether Bonsai 1-bit models (or any small model) can produce
valid tool calls via Ollama or llama-server API.
Test suite (5 categories):
1. Simple tool call: file read with exact path
2. Terminal command execution
3. Web search
4. Multi-step: read file -> analyze -> write result
5. Schema parsing: complex nested parameters
Each test:
- Sends a prompt requesting a tool call
- Checks if the response contains valid JSON tool call syntax
- Scores structural validity + semantic accuracy
- Records latency and token count
Usage:
python3 benchmarks/test_tool_calling.py --model bonsai-1.7b
python3 benchmarks/test_tool_calling.py --model qwen3.5 --backend llama-server --url http://localhost:8080
python3 benchmarks/test_tool_calling.py --model bonsai-1.7b --output benchmarks/bonsai-tool-calling.md
