4.1 Experimental Setup

  1. What models did Schick et al. compare to isolate the effect of tools?
    GPT-J (6.7B); GPT-J fine-tuned on the same CCNet subset without API calls; Toolformer; Toolformer with API calls disabled at decoding; and much larger OPT-66B and GPT-3 175B, all prompted zero-shot without task-specific examples of tool use.
