A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking a language model smaller than OmniCoder v2 9b that can effectively perform tool calls. They note that while many smaller models can technically attempt tool calls, they often lack the appropriate or agentic behavior. The user specifically mentions that newer Qwen and Gemma models also struggled with this functionality, whereas OmniCoder excels without explicit prompting. The goal is to find a more compact model for faster loading on hardware with 12GB of VRAM. AI
