A developer with prior experience in similar projects stressed that dataset quality is as important as model architecture for reliable tool calling, noting the challenge of capturing all smart home devices and user phrasing variations.

“I tried doing something similar a couple of months ago and came to the conclusion that the dataset was at least as important as the modeling itself.”
