Summary of the issue you are facing:
I’m having trouble to get the Nextcloud Assistant perform sensible tasks, even after trying a variety of models. I understand that the model has to provide tool calling functionalities, but even with those models my Assistant only want’s to perform bogus tasks, e.g. create an calendar entry and not retrieving the correct mail address… Mistral 7b was not capable of funcion calling if I understand correctly. Currently I am running Gemma 3 4B, and that works well in general. It is however also still very off when creating calendar entries and wants to perform bogus tasks.
Context Agent is version 1.1.0.
Do you have suggestions for models (in maximum the 7-8b range, for more my GPU it not sufficient ) that work well with the assistant? If you could even share your setup, especially if you managed to get those models to work within LocalAI, I would be more than happy.
