- simonw 2y agoThat's one of the more common definitions people use - especially people who aren't directly building agents, since the builders tend to get more hung up on "LLM with access to tools" or similar. My problem is when people use that definition (or any other) without clarifying, because they assume it's THE obvious definition.
