Agno 3.1.10: our test log

Agno 3.1.10 passed our one-tool task on a local 3B model: 3 of 3 trials; cold uv install 1.8 s.

Result at a glance

What we found

• 3 of 3 task trials passed: the model's tool call reached the framework, the function ran with 17 and 25, and the final answer contained 42.
• Cold install took 1.8 s with uv and 13.2 s with pip, and left 69 MB in 37 packages (uv).

What we ran, step by step

# Install with uv (cold, no cache)
uv venv -q -p 3.13 work/py/agno && VIRTUAL_ENV=work/py/agno uv pip install --no-cache -q agno openai

# Install with pip (cold, no cache)
uv venv -q --seed -p 3.13 work/pip/agno && work/pip/agno/bin/pip install --no-cache-dir -q agno openai

# Task command (all trials)

Gotchas and things that broke

• We installed the openai package alongside agno, as the OpenAIChat model class needs it; we did not check whether agno alone is enough.

What we did not test

• Any vendor-hosted model: everything ran on a local 3B model, so tool-call reliability with frontier models is not measured here.
• Multi-agent flows, memory, long conversations, streaming, tracing and cloud deployment.
• Anything beyond one tool and one question; three trials is a smoke test, not a benchmark.

Reproduce it

Versions change. These commands install whatever is latest on the day you run them unless a version is pinned, so expect different results later. The version we measured is in the table above.

# 1. Serve any local model that supports tool calling behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, registered as qwen2.5-3b:
#    http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1  (we used Ollama with a Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct Q4_K_M GGUF)
uv venv -p 3.13 .venv && VIRTUAL_ENV=.venv uv pip install agno openai
# 2. Save common.py (above) and the task script next to each other, then:
.venv/bin/python agno_agent.py

How to read this test

Every number on this page was measured on this one machine, which also ran other jobs, so timings are indicative and vary run to run. A pass means our small task worked once or as stated, a fail means it did not work as we ran it; neither says how the tool behaves with a vendor's frontier model, on a GPU, or at scale. Where a tool could not run without an account or a GPU, we say so instead of guessing.

See the testing rig for the hardware, the local model and the rules we follow, and the test hub for every other test.
