[Preview] Southeast Asia LLM Function call benchmark.

What is function call Function call capability is crucial for creating agent-based systems. Function calls allow LLMs to use 'the tools' when 'the tools' are functions (methods) or APIs. This capability increases the reliability of LLM applications when LLM applications MUST interact with non-LLM systems. Method I used a part of Gorilla-eval (https://github.com/ShishirPatil/gorilla/tree/main/eval) to evaluate all models. This evaluation method measures two metrics: functionality score and h
