Tool Augmented LLM

Tool-augmented large language models (LLMs) aim to enhance LLMs' capabilities by integrating them with external tools, enabling more complex and realistic interactions. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency and accuracy of tool selection and usage, particularly for tasks involving visual data, code generation, and multi-step processes, often employing techniques like reinforcement learning and fine-tuning to optimize LLM performance. This field is significant because it addresses limitations of LLMs in handling real-world tasks requiring external knowledge or actions, with potential applications ranging from automated data analysis and software development to improved conversational AI agents and more efficient scientific workflows.
