  Refine the README's introductory paragraph to emphasize training capabilities

  Why:

  CURRENT

  This project (ToolLLM) aims to construct **open-source, large-scale, high-quality** instruction tuning SFT data to facilitate the construction of powerful LLMs with general **tool-use** capability. We aim to empower open-source LLMs to master thousands of diverse real-world APIs. We achieve this by collecting a high-quality instruction-tuning dataset. It is constructed automatically using the latest ChatGPT (gpt-3.5-turbo-16k), which is upgraded with enhanced function call capabilities. We provide the dataset, the corresponding training and evaluation scripts, and a capable model ToolLLaMA fine-tuned on ToolBench.

  ## Comparison with LLM Application Frameworks
  
  ToolBench is a comprehensive platform for *training and evaluating* large language models to master real-world APIs, providing datasets, training scripts, and benchmarks. Unlike application frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex, which focus on building LLM-powered applications, ToolBench's primary goal is to advance the LLM's intrinsic tool-use capabilities.
