Function Calling With Schema Based Argument Binding

via “native function calling with schema-based argument binding”

OpenAI's fastest multimodal flagship model with 128K context.

Unique: Native function calling is deeply integrated into the model's training and inference, not a post-hoc wrapper; the model learns to reason about tool availability and constraints during pretraining, resulting in more natural tool selection than prompt-based approaches

vs others: More reliable function calling than Claude 3.5 Sonnet (which uses tool_use blocks) because GPT-4o's schema binding is tighter and supports parallel calls natively without workarounds
