No, this is a bit different. When GPT 4.o came out OpenAI also added new features that allow the models to perform actions. This allows you to do that, but locally.

The reason this is cool is because it allows you to integrate with things like Home Assistant, so you can ask your chat bot or whatever to actual take actions. "Hey bot, turn on the lights in the basement" as an example.

Nit pick, but function calling, which is essentially what Tools are(an earlier evolution), was released before GPT-4-o, in June 2023.

No that's a good call out, I got my timing a bit off there.
