Middleware for LLMs: Tools Are Instrumental for Language Agents in Complex Environments

arXiv:2402.14672v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The applications of large language models (LLMs) have expanded well beyond the confines of text processing, signaling a new era where LLMs are envisioned as generalist language agents capable of operating within complex real-world environments. These environments are often highly expansive, making it impossible for the LLM to process them within its short-term memory. Motivated by recent research on extending the capabilities of LLMs with tools, this paper investigates the intriguing potential of tools to …
