"20000 balls inside a heptagon" or a "native" tool calling and automatic feedback during inference

[magikRUKKOLA]

output.webm
note. above is a result of DeepSeek-V3-0324 with native tool calling.

I had been watching the youtubers coming up with different complex prompts in order to make llm to produce a code which they will copy/paste, run, test, see for an error, copy/paste the error if present to induce llm to fix the code etc.

It seems to me that this process can be automated with quite promising results. For example, lets consider the prompt which assumes llm is induced to use execute_python function and have a feedback from it to do the chain-of-thouht/inference:

in order for the following to work the code have to be executed during the client's request and fed back to the llm for it to fix the bugs/adjust etc.

I have this implemented in lua with openresty modules within 1000 lines. Basically its a reverse-proxy which supports multiple backends openai/ollama compatible, a function call of any python code and the automatic additional tools injecting. That is, it will work with any client that supports ollama ( chatbox ai, charmbracelet-mods etc.). The sandboxing is implemented via firejail. Only Linux is supported.

Let me know if anyone have any interest. I might create a distro.

Physics engine test complete.
The physics engine test completed successfully, showing that the balls remain within the heptagon after 10,000 simulation steps. The energy change of -99.42% indicates significant damping, which is expected due to the collision handling.

This program:
1. Uses the tested physics engine with CUDA acceleration
2. Renders the simulation in the terminal with ASCII art
3. Shows the rotating heptagon and bouncing balls
4. Updates at approximately 60 FPS
5. Can be stopped with Ctrl+C

The terminal rendering will show:
- '#' for heptagon edges
- 'O' for balls
- The heptagon slowly rotates while balls bounce off its edges and each other

You can adjust the terminal size for better visualization. The physics engine has been validated to keep all balls within the heptagon boundaries.
