Langchain on agentic planning

Different names

function calling
agents
planning
Take a number of actions in sequence
Agent takes more and more actions, the results of those actions are fed back to the LLM

General observation

Planning and reasoning is still not at the level it?s needed to be for real-world tasks.

Issues

prompt being passed into the LLM simply does not contain enough information for the LLM to make a reasonable decision
Lack of visibility to see intermediate data easily to evaluate what is not working
Test data sets that can be evaluated to understand the calculated flows because the underlying mechanism is brittle
randomness and unpredictability.

Cognitive Architecture

It is a term that is used to "describe" the "body" or "brain" of your "genai" application.
Particularly used in agentic systems as there is "reasoning" by LLM using a number of strategies including Prompt directing the LLM decisions to call which step next.
It is a way stemming from the desire to classify what kind of logic your have in your genai app and give it a name.

Examples

Straight forward question answer
basic RAG (no agentic)
Manual flows to control multiple calls to LLMs
Agentic RAG where "the routing logic is in the prompt" with multiple calls to the LLM and the APIs
Long term planning with goals
