Great! Finally follows custom tool call format (k2.6 couldn't). It's a good indicator of instructions following and agentic behaviour.
UIs it's generating is pretty good, not without problems, but certainly better than other models at this price point.
What do you mean by custom format? Non-json?
Could be json or non json. Instead of using tools in API, you ask model to share structured output in text. You parse the string to get the JSON. Gives much more control over things you can do.
For example model shares
<tool_call name="getWeather"> <param name="city">London</param> </tool_call>
