How this site is run: https://getpeacecall.com/verify/?utm_source=peertube&amp;utm_medium=video&amp;utm_campaign=underdog-s1v2 A trained Qwen3-8B beat Llama-4-Maverick (402B total parameters), the model that created its training examples, at picking tools: 41.5% vs 30.6% on ToolBench G3 (strict exact match; 30.6 = Maverick's best of 4 prompted setups). Conditions: the 8B was fine-tuned (SFT + RL) for this exact task; Maverick was only prompted. Opposite result in the same paper: on TaskBench (103 tasks) Maverick won, 80.6% vs 72.8%. Source: Zhou, Magesh, Kwon, Kuriksha, Jiang, Zanette, Jain (Meta / Carnegie Mellon), 'Training Small Language Models for Transferable Tool Selection', arXiv:2610.31483v1 - PREPRINT (Oct 22, 2026), not yet peer reviewed. https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.31483 .

Mr. Peace is an AI-made character with an AI voice. Qwen3-8B was specifically trained for tool selection; Llama 4 Maverick was evaluated using prompted workflows. On TaskBench (new domains, 103 tasks), Maverick scored higher (80.6% vs 72.8%). Preprint, not peer-reviewed. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.31483 (version v1, posted Oct 22, 2026). AI Disclosure: Mr. Peace is a fictional AI character using a synthetic voice. This video is AI-assisted and does not depict a real person speaking. Research Disclosure: Based on a research preprint that has not been peer-reviewed. Results apply to the reported benchmarks and experimental conditions, not overall model superiority.
