[FRIAM] Honeymoon over!

[Jochen Fromm]

Langchain is an agent framework started by Harrison Chase. A Langchain agent uses LLMs to reason in a perceive-reason-act cycle. One could argue that Langchain agents are able to think, and we are even able to watch them thinkinghttps://github.com/langchain-ai/langchaindeeplearning.ai has free courses about Langchainhttps://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/langchain-for-llm-application-development/-J.

Sorry you couldn't get through. The abstract for the abstract had to be submitted separately. Here it is.LLMs are strikingly good at generating text: their output is syntactically correct,  coherent, and plausible. They seem capable of following instructions and of carrying out meaningful conversations. LLMs achieve these results by using transformers to produce text based on complex patterns in their training data. But powerful though they are, transformers have nothing to do with reasoning. LLMs have no means to build or to reason from internal models; they cannot backtrack or perform exploratory search; they cannot perform after-the-fact analysis; and they cannot diagnose and correct errors.  More generally, LLMs cannot formulate, apply, or correct strategies or heuristics. In short, LLMs are not a step away from Artificial General Intelligence.A pdf of the full abstract is attached.  -- RussOn Sun, Jan 28, 2024 at 10:12 AM Steve Smith <sasmyth at swcp.com> wrote:

  
    
  
  
    
    
      
        
        
        And
          if you're interested, my long abstract submission to
            IACAP-2024 has related thoughts. (Scroll down until you
          get to the link for the actual paper.)
      
    
    Russ -
    I am interested in reading your abstract/paper...
      
    I signed up for an IACAP account but the link you provided seems
      to be dead?
