What is the issue?

Website shows tools support with model tags, but when model is downloaded, it does not support the tools, wasting the time spent on downloading.

Reconstruct your 8b model using the 671b template.

Hey @nhnansari sorry about this. The 671b model does support tools which is why it shows up on the website. We did try to get tools working w/ the distillations but ended up running into problems. We're exploring some ideas for the website to show this better.
