pattern matching, reasoning about symbolic representations of information,<br><br>- logical inference (deduction, induction), <br>- analogical reasoning, <br>- causal modeling,<br>- abstract representation learning.<br><br>- general-purpose agentic behavior?<br>- chaining together diverse tools/skills<br> - selecting the right tool in context;<br>- refining plans based on execution feedback (self-correction)<br>- multi-step planning & decomposition of complex goals into manageable sub-tasks,<br>- managing state across time.<br><br>emergent capabilities?<br>- novel combinations of existing skills/tools<br>- emergent meta-skills (e.g., deconstructing a domain's knowledge graph)<br>- high-level strategic synthesis from disparate data sources and concepts.<br> - connecting dots that humans often miss, especially across domains.<br><br>the "magic" part?<br>- integrating symbolic reasoning with the statistical power of transformers;<br>- grounding in continuous sensory/interaction data (embodiment)<br>- building internal world models & predictive simulators,<br>- forming complex mental representations of how things work, not just that they correlate.
