FunctionGemma never worked well for me (without fine tuning). Liquid has released 230M and 350M models that work far, far better in my testing: https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-230M

I really look forward to a hypothetical LFM3-230M, because LFM2.5-230M is so close to being usable, while FunctionGemma is miles away from being usable.

But, yes, still tangential to TERMy.

I tried functiongemma, it is for sure faster than those models, the problem is that is not reliable enough for a terminal assistant. I would say that no LLM is good for a terminal assistant, if you take into account the operational cost and the risk of damage. Even if it fails only 1 time out of 10 becomes useless. That's why I developed FlintParser!

https://github.com/ThorOdinson246/whatisit-nl2sh uses a finetune of Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Instruct. It works pretty well, tho it will misunderstand things from time to time
