Have you personally used LLMs within agent frameworks that apply CoT and OPA patterns or others from cognitive architecture theories?

I’d be surprised if you have used LLMs beyond the classic chat based linear interface that is commonly used and still have the opinions you do.

In my opinion, once you combine RAG and agent frameworks with raw observational input data they can absolutely do real reasoning, analysis, and create new insights that are meaningful and will be considered genuine new science. This project/group we are discussing have practically proven this with their replication examples. The reason this is possible is because the LLM is not just taught how to repeat information but it can actually reason and analyze at a human level and beyond when utilizing it’s capabilities within a well designed cognitive architecture using agents.
