An LLM in a for-loop with tools and memory

An Agent Is Just an LLM in a For-Loop

Extracto original

That’s actually been one of the more complex topics for us to define, because the field changes so quickly. What fundamentally is an agent when the definition shifts every two months? It’s a bit of a hot take, but I really do think an agent is an LLM in a for-loop with some tools, some memory, and perhaps some guardrails. When you boil it all down, that’s essentially it.
