Make BFCL User-Friendly and Easy to Extend #510
Conversation
- Move `model_handler` to `bfcl/model_handler` - Separate `oss` and `proprietary` model - Move java and javascript parsers to `bfcl/parser` - Standardize model handlers and remove duplicate methods
- Test data compilation handled by `bfcl/types.py:LeaderboardCategories.load_data` method

Hey @devanshamin Thank you so much for flagging and suggesting improvements! We agree with everything you mentioned. If it helps, one design decision we have adopted is that when in doubt, defer to simplicity and ease of code readability, given this is an OSS. re: landing the PR: We are absolutely delighted you want to contribute to the Berkeley Function Calling Leaderboard (BFCL) project, and will be absolutely on-board to review and land this PR! Welcome aboard mate! |
Awesome! I'm glad to hear you're on board. Keeping the theme of simplicity in mind, I was thinking of coming up with a detailed plan for the refactor and getting your feedback on it. @HuanzhiMao reached out to me, and we are planning on setting up a Zoom call. During the call, I can go over the changes that I have made and the plan, and hear your thoughts and feedback on how to move forward. After the meeting, I can write up a draft with next steps which we can track over here. |
- poetry build system is no longer used
- To allow for separate dependencies for oss and proprietary model
- test category is already added to each example during loading the data

Here is an article outlining steps on merging this PR - #521 |
- Load original json test data files - Add `id` and `test_category` keys to each example - Save model responses for each test category in a separate file
- Single cli entrypoint with subcommands to run benchmark and evaluation

This PR aims to improve the organization and distribution of the codebase by packaging the BFCL codebase. This PR is part of a series of changes that break down the tasks outlined in #510. --------- Co-authored-by: Huanzhi Mao <[email protected]>
This PR reorganizes the model handler by splitting it into two distinct components: an Open Source (OSS) model handler and a Proprietary model handler. This change is part of a series of updates that address the tasks outlined in issue #510. --------- Co-authored-by: Huanzhi Mao <[email protected]>
…_credential_config.py (#675) This PR addresses the issue of hard-coded relative file paths in BFCL, which previously made it impossible to run the script from different entry locations/directories. With this update, the script can now be executed from any directory, unblocking #621. Additionally, this PR automates the `apply_function_credential_config.py` step, removing the need for users to manually trigger the script to apply the credential files. Part of the effort to merge #510. --------- Co-authored-by: Devansh Amin <[email protected]>

Thank you for open-sourcing BFCL and for your efforts in maintaining it. As I explored the codebase, I noticed some areas for improvement, including duplicate functions, constants, and variables that are inaccessible outside their functions, as well as a lack of abstract classes/methods.
To address these issues, I've begun refactoring the codebase to make it more straightforward to follow, customize, install, and extend. Although this work is still in progress, I wanted to share it with the contributors to seek feedback and gauge interest in reviewing or contributing to the PR. I understand that it’s a significant refactor and may require considerable time and effort, so any assistance or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
