It doesn't take much to recognize a sequence of chess moves. A regex could do that.

If what you want is intelligence and reasoning, there is no tool for that - LLMs are as good as it gets for now.

At the end of the day it either works on your use case, or it doesn't. Perhaps it doesn't work out of the box but you can code an agent using tools and duct tape.

Do you really think it's feasible to maintain and execute a set of regexes for every known problem every time you need to reason about something? Welcome to the 1970s AI winter...

  • No I don't - I'm saying that tool use is no panacea, and availability of a chess tool isn't going to help if what YOU need is a smarter model.

    • Sure, but how do you train a smarter model that can use tools, without first having a less smart model that can use tools? This is just part of the progress. I don't think anyone claims this is the endgame.
