From Text to Action: How Tool-Augmented AI Agents Are Redefining Language Models with Reasoning, Memory, and Autonomy

Early large language models (LLMs) excelled at generating coherent text; however, they struggled with tasks that required precise operations, such as arithmetic calculations or real-time data lookups. The emergence of tool-augmented agents has bridged this gap by endowing LLMs with the ability to invoke external APIs and services, effectively combining the breadth of language understanding with the specificity of dedicated tools. Pioneering this…
