> Will we be doing tool-calling for every task that's not just summarizing text?

spoiler: Yes. This has already become standard for production use cases where the LLM is an external-facing interface; you use an LLM to translate the user's human-language request to a machine-ready, well-defined schema (i.e. a protobuf RPC), do the bulk of the actual work with actual, deterministic code, then (optionally) use an LLM to generate a text result to display to the user. The LLM only acts as a user interface layer.
