From Hugging Face blog - “Thinking of ACE? We Can Do It with Fewer Tokens

ALTK Evolve is a system built by IBM Research. It demonstrates the ability to achieve performance levels similar to models such as ACE. The system utilizes a smaller number of tokens during operation. This reduction in token usage impacts operational costs and inference speed. The system’s architecture is designed for efficient agent tool calling.
