llama-cpp-agent vs xLAM

llama-cpp-agent: llama-cpp-agent is a Python framework for interacting with LLMs running via llama.cpp. It provides a unified interface for chat, structured function calls, and JSON-formatted output — including models not explicitly fine-tuned for function calling. Developers can define tools and callable functions that the agent invokes directly, making it practical for building local agentic workflows without cloud dependencies.; xLAM: xLAM is a research repository for Large Action Models (LAMs), which aggregates and unifies agent trajectories from diverse environments into a consistent format. It streamlines the creation of a generic data loader optimized for agent training, enabling robust model development across various scenarios.
