A recent benchmark tested two local large language models, Qwen3-14B and Llama-3.2-3B, on their ability to perform function calls for real-world API tasks. While both models demonstrated strong JSON validity, with the smaller Llama-3.2-3B model showing a slight edge, the larger Qwen3-14B model proved superior in argument correctness, especially in multi-turn conversations and error recovery scenarios. Despite falling short of GPT-4's reliability, the Qwen3-14B model's performance suggests it is better suited for complex local coding agents that require accurate data extraction and context maintenance.
