It's not just calling APIs. This model is independently teaching itself how to use new APIs and when to use them. The process is pretty much the same for any API, and doesn't require much extra effort by the programmer to add a new one.
This paper also states it is one of the first to have models learn to use APIs in an unsupervised way, meaning they teach themselves instead of relying on a ton of human annotated data.

And if we can extend this to creating synthetic training data with a set of known APIs, this could be a big step forward to indexing external information
