LLMs are not agents. LLMs are language models that simply respond to a text prompt with a textual response. Agents are middleware that take input from the user and then use LLMs to drive tools.

They are just a to-do list. The real work is done by the LLMs

  • An LLM has no motive power, like a script without an a cast, or a program without a computer to execute it.
