Decision notes
Official-document research
Based on the cited documentation. We did not use the product, purchase a plan, or run quality, speed or reliability tests in this review.
Consider it for
- Researchers and developers able to validate model outputs and track artifact-specific terms
Choose another approach if
- Unreviewed production tool execution
- Assuming every Gorilla weight or dataset is unconditionally Apache2
Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
Repository code has no royalty under Apache2, but GPU, storage, hosting, API access and model-specific compliance costs are separate. A legacy no-key hosted example was not tested and does not establish a current free service. No current universal hosted price, quota, currency or tax was confirmed.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Apache2 covers repository code with license/notice/change obligations, not all data or weights. The official OpenFunctions v2 card adds DeepSeek Appendix A restrictions beyond its Apache2 tag. Its linked pinned model license includes use restrictions, derivatives/distillation and hosted-distribution duties to pass terms/notices onward; the data itself is not licensed. This is not unrestricted Apache-only model use or a statement about all current DeepSeek models. No output ownership claim does not clear inputs, data or generated outputs; provider training/retention remains unconfirmed.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
Original 4.4/5 retained; the original scoring worksheet and hands-on evidence are unavailable. This documentation review did not re-score it.
Overview
Gorilla is a research project covering function-calling models, API-oriented data and the Berkeley Function Calling Leaderboard. OpenFunctions documents v2 multiple and parallel calls and relevance detection. A model-generated function name or argument is not an authorized execution, and invalid JSON can fall back to a string; applications still need schema validation, permission checks and controlled execution.
BFCL's displayed overall score averages defined categories and estimates costs for a dated evaluation snapshot. The page was updated April 12, 2026 and links a fixed reproducibility version. It does not certify real-task safety, every current model or success on your APIs. No benchmark, model download or endpoint was run.

Pros / Cons
Pros
- Public research artifacts and evaluation definitions
- Specific model and code licenses can be inspected
Cons
- Function output needs validation and authorization
- Benchmark scores do not prove deployment safety
- OpenFunctions v2 has extra model-use restrictions
Who it's for
Researching function-call evaluation and schema validation
Assessing a specifically licensed model for controlled tools
Bottom line
Select a specific artifact and license, then validate it against your API and execution controls; neither an Apache tag nor a leaderboard score clears the whole stack.
