Description

I'm wondering how this compares to Open AI's function calling as that's also made "to more reliably get structured data back from the model."
I see that TypeChat aimes to be model-agnostic and lets me pass in TS types.
How does the quality of the answer compare? OpenAI finetuned the models to work for function calling. Are TypeChat results as reliable? Or could it be combined?
