"understanding" is overstating it. Correlation between tokens embedded in the weights via training, yes.

Feedback loops certainly seem to give them some level of understanding.

Agent reads a skill file about how to use a CLI tool. It tries to use the tool but gets an error about the input format. It tries again with a different format based on the error message, and sees that command succeeded. It compares what worked to what was in the skill file and notes the difference. On future invocations it continues to use the new format.

Is that not "understanding" how to use the tool?

What exactly would you call understanding? It's a correlation matrix of concepts.

What’s the difference? It’s clearly processing information and coming up with the right answer

Training is a loan word used to describe human learning process. For a reason.

Humans learn on the job. LLMs don't. Very important difference.
